Susan McMaster has already kicked off the campaign by donating $50 (donations of $50 or more receive a tax receipt). Follow this link, hit the “donate” button and make a note that you are a League member. http://www.harbourpublishing.com/PurdyAFrame/?page_id=7. As Susan notes, "The Al Purdy project would very much like participation by League members especially, as a gesture of support for one of our most noted ‐‐ and noticeable! ‐‐ poets.

The Great Canadian PoeTrain Tour Update We have finally got from Via Rail a receptive contact in Vancouver who is helping facilitate planning and implementation of Canada’s first cross Canada PoeTrain tour for April of 2015 during National Poetry Month. A dynamic, entrepreneurial spirited team of keen doers is providing stewardship of the project 1 in Toronto. We will be opening registration this month once we receive a discount code from Via of 10% for the train trip portion. Further details on hotels, billeting, and the full itinerary will be available as well. There will be a limited number of seats available so it is critical to follow the registration instructions when they are announced. Anyone not yet pre‐registered and curious about making literary history can email dave at [email protected] subject heading poetrain projects and you’ll be added to our contact list. OPPORTUNITIES Please note: The opportunities, contests or markets listed in this electronic newsletter are only an informational resource. We encourage all poets to thoroughly investigate all contests or markets before submitting their work. Open Call for Submissions: Diaspora Dialogues Mentoring Program, 2015 Diaspora Dialogues is excited to announce the 2015 mentoring program, focusing on the creation of long‐form manuscripts and offering emerging writers greater in‐depth opportunity to hone their craft, and prepare a book‐length project for publication. Diaspora Dialogues invites submissions from emerging writers who currently have a full or near‐full draft of an original full‐length novel or collection of short stories. Complete or near‐complete means that the writer has up t o 85,000 words or 300 double‐spaced pages of prose; or up to 25 poems (no more than 50 pages maximum). Submissions will consist only of excerpts from these works (see Guidelines). Through an adjudicated process, the most promising emerging writers will be chosen for the opportunity to work over a six‐month period with a mentor via correspondence (either email or post) between January and July 2015. Diaspora Dialogues is committed to supporting a literature of Toronto that is as diverse as the city itself. Writers are encouraged to keep this mandate in mind, but addressing this theme directly is not essential in the submission. Deadline: Friday, October 31, 2014. To download the application form, FAQs, and read about the experiences of past mentees, please visit the Diaspora Dialogues website: http://diasporadialogues.com/ Call for Submission: Subterranean Blues Poetry Subterranean Blue Poetry Announces a Submission Call of New Age Poetry and Books of Poetry for Review. Particularly l@@king for New Age Art for the Masthead. We thrive on new original word synergies.

Now Accepting Applications for Residencies for 2016: Al Purdy A‐frame Thanks to generous sponsorship, it has been an exciting McClelland & Stewart* Summer at the Purdy A‐ frame. The Purdy Picnic was a smashing success as was Katherine Leyton's How Pedestrian project. Katherine's residency ended August 31 and the new writers‐in‐residence are Nick Thran and Sue Sinclair. Information about events will be posted soon. Over the winter we hope to finish the necessary work on Al's writing shed so if you are considering a donation it would be timely. The Al Purdy A‐frame Association is now accepting applications for residencies for 2016. Information and applications procedures are posted on our website www.alpurdy.ca. Call For Submissions: The Inflectionist Review 2 The Inflectionist Review, http://www.inflectionism.com, considers poetry submissions on an ongoing basis. We are reading for issue 3 right now. TIR has a strong preference for non‐linear work that carefully constructs ambiguity so that the reader can play an active role in the poem. In general, we commend the experimental, the worldly and universal, and eschew the inane, trendy, and overly personal. Work that reveals multiple layers with further readings. Work that speaks to people across borders, across literary and cultural boundaries, across time periods, is more likely to fascinate us (and the reader). Submissions are accepted online via Submittable at: https://theinflectionistreview.submittable.com/submit. Poetry Contest: Split This Rock $1,000 Awarded for Poems of Provocation & Witness.

    CAITLIN PRESS WHERE URBAN MEETS RURAL & HOME OF DAGGER EDITIONS FALL 2020 Mary Jayne Blackmore Vera Maloff Claire Finlayson Cathy Sosnowsky Kate Braid Mary MacDonald Shannon McConnell Jane Byers Kelly Rose Pflug-Back PRAISE FOR OUR BOOKS “A compelling, thoroughly researched tale of love and death on the BC prairie. Reimer’s book [The Trials of Albert Stroebel] is a gift to history nerds and true-crime lovers alike” —Jesse Donaldson “Accepting yourself at every size? That means rejecting all the whispered edicts of Eurowestern society and the out-loud abuse of strangers. That’s a BIG project. And one worth documenting. As a BIG girl myself, I NEEDED all the stories in [BIG: Stories about Life in Plus-Sized Bodies], from the sad-stark-raging to the joyful-triumphant-funny.” —Ariel Gordon “Furs and gold may dominate BC’s modern creation narrative, but it was the packtrain that made it possible. ... Cataline: The Life of BC’s Legendary Packer is a remarkable window into that astonishing period of the province’s history, and what a story it is!” —Stephen Hume “A compulsively readable novel, The Kissing Fence is a story about resilience and resistance in the face of a shameful, nearly forgotten episode in Canadian history. Insightful and sensitively told, it is a timely story that serves to remind us of the destructive multigenerational effects of the forced assimilation of children.” —Iona Whishaw “Let your soul come to rest in this haunting book as you take a quiet journey to a watershed that someone cherishes. Sweet Water examines our relationship to water in all its forms by the best poets among us and powerfully reminds us of our dependence on this precious life force.

Kate Braid was born in Calgary, Alberta on March 9, 1947. She was raised in Calgary until age 10, when her father got a job in Montreal. Her family lived in an Anglophone neighbourhood. She has memories of the FLQ crisis of the 1970s as she was still working in Quebec and dating a Francophone man at the time. She recalls understanding their frustration but feeling it was not her place as an Anglophone, and so she left the province. She recalls Expo 67, which was the first time she remembers feeling “truly Canadian”.

Indeed, these Invisible Generations helped forge a modern British Columbia. They should be celebrated, not forgotten.” —Mark Forsythe, former CBC British Columbia broadcaster “[In Escape to the Wild,] Hejlskov risks it all for what she believes in and gives us a rare and raw look at the fight it took to try and build a life in the wilderness.” —Nikki van Schyndel, author of Becoming Wild “Rising Tides uses words on climate change to name it, tame it and act as science tells us to, before it is too late—I commend Catriona Sandilands for bringing together this diverse group of people that honoured climate change through these words.” — Dr. Catherine Potvin, Canada Research Chair in Climate Change Mitigation and Tropical Forest (Tier 1) “[In On/Me,] Cunningham doesn’t pull her punches, but they are quick, stinging hits, captur- ing difficult realities, the in-between worlds of belonging and not, of bearing the assumptions that make us a part of a group or alone.
