GAIL BOWEN!
One of Canada's favourite mystery writers is a headliner for THIN AIR 2013! Gail Bowen has kept more than her fair share of readers burning the midnight oil with her lively and thought-provoking Joanne Kilbourn novels. On September 21, she'll be here to launch a brand new one, The Gifted, at our popular afternoon mystery event, A Pint of Bitter Murder.
Regina's Gail Bowen is one of the country’s premier writers in the mystery genre—in 2008, Reader’s Digest named her Canada’s Best Mystery Novelist. She has published over a dozen books featuring Joanne Kilbourn, including A Colder Kind of Death, which won the Arthur Ellis Award. She’s also writing tough crime fiction in a new Rapid Reads series from Orca Books; this year’s title is The Thirteenth Rose.

Poetry Round Table -"Poetry and the Public Realm"
Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - 7:00pm
Poetry Round Table -"Poetry and the Public Realm"
Carol Shields Auditorium, Millenium Library, 251 Donald St Winnipeg, MB R3C 3P5
This round table conversation is an opportunity for all of us who care about poetry to talk together about our roles and responsibilities as poets--political, social, and personal. Also the barriers and frustrations we face, and strategies for handling them.
Our special guest is Canada's Parliamentary Poet Laureate, FRED WAH, a writer with a long history of socially-conscious engagement with language and culture. Passionate, articulate, challenging, adventurous, and funny, Fred's do-it-yourself poetics has extended from his early days in the TISH movement in BC to his current position as a voice from Parliament Hill.
Bring your thoughts, concerns, questions, challenges, and prepare for a lively conversation about poetry in our own public realm.
Everyone is welcome (not only poets but also the people who wonder about them!) and the event is free.
