This is the first part of a two-part special issue celebrating women writers aged 50 and over in Canada. The focus in this first issue will be primarily on our own Manitoba women, as well as those from the west. As guest editor, Katherine Bitney writes in her introduction, “Sometimes our voices, our narratives, get lost in the crowning of newer and younger writers. But yes, we are out there, writing, and speaking, calling in ancestral and autobiographical voices, keeping the flames of the past and of life experience burning.” This special issue features beautiful cover art by KC Adams. The evening will be introduced by Katherine Bitney, and hosted by the lovely Charlene Diehl.
Readings by KC Adams, Jody Baltessen, Donna Besel, Di Brandt, Ariel Gordon, Nancy Hall, Mary Horodyski, Catherine Hunter, Sarah Klassen, Rowan McCandless, Daria Salamon, Deborah Schnitzer, Barbara Schott, and Margaret Sweatman.
