Shameless Summer Promotions
24 June 2008
Spring has departed. Summer is here. And what goes better with prairie storms than your very own copy of Five Weeks? Copies now on sale in Edmonton at Audreys, Greenwood's Bookshoppe, Chapters on Whyte, and from anywhere else in the world via your favourite online bookseller.
Also, be sure to check out four pieces by the extremely talented Nicole Pakan in the current issue of filling Station (Issue 41), now on stands. And maybe pick up a copy of the Summer PRISM international while you are in the store. Just 'cause. Then pop over to Greenwood's Bookshoppe and grab all of the recent—and mind-blowingly beautiful—chapbook selections by Red Nettle Press, including The Fast Places by the inimitable Mike Gravel. Trust me, it's worth it.
Finally, a huge congratulations to Thomas Trofimuk. Maybe stop on by Sorbet Central to see what all the fuss is about.
Thus ends your latest dose of shameless Summer literary promotion.
