For most of us, even before we learned the alphabet, others read to us, and so literature is foundational in our lives. We rely on our literacy skills at school and later in our professions, in our interactions with others in our homes and communities, and for our enjoyment. Reading opens new worlds to us, and connects W. Thomas us to others. How fortunate we are to have vibrant writing and Molloy publishing communities in Canada and Saskatchewan. And how lucky we are to be surrounded by committed volunteers who Lieutenant have given us the gift of this Festival, which celebrates all that Governor literacy and books mean to each of us. Province of Saskatchewan I am grateful to the organizing committee and volunteers, the authors and exhibitors, the donors and sponsors for making this 9th Annual Festival possible. Please accept my very best wishes for a joyous and memorable celebration. On behalf of my colleagues on City Council, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone to The 2019 Word On The Street Festival, taking place in Saskatoon on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis Nation. This festival plays an important part in the life of our community and it is a major event for families and people of all ages. By celebrating the importance of reading and literacy, The Word On The Street Festival promotes local authors, inspires learning, and challenges us to think differently by connecting to the characters Charlie Clark in a book. Mayor of The Word On The Street Festival has grown into one of the largest Saskatoon cultural events in our city, and this growth is a testament to the dedication and commitment of the organizers, volunteers, and sponsors who work so hard to expand on the festival’s success year after year. I would like to thank everyone for all of this work and the commitment you have to championing literacy in our community. Best wishes for a successful event and I hope that everyone who attends has an enjoyable time.

A group of newcomer youth and adults remind us that the Regina Open Door Society (RODS) exists to create a welcoming community enriched by the diversity and strength of newcomers to Canada. In June and November 2019, a group of newcomers met with local author, Gail Bowen, to develop their creative writing skills and to tell their stories. The RODS’ Welcoming Community for Newcomers (WCN) program, along with its partners, is proud to share these stories. We want to thank the participants for their hard work and dedication, and for opening a door into their new beginnings, and their process of becoming who they want to be in Canada. It is our hope that Becoming will open your hearts to learn, smile, laugh and tear-up, and your arms to welcome and encourage newcomers to Canada, making Regina and surrounding area their new home. Enjoy! The Regina Open Door Society’s Welcoming Community for Newcomers Program f you write, you are a writer. As an advocate for the art and Icraft of writing, the vision of the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild is to continually support and promote all writers and their vital contributions to a healthy and vibrant society.

    The Anne Szumigalski Collection. Anne Szumigalski A Finding Aid of the Anne Szumigalski at the University of Saskatchewan Prepared by Craig Harkema **(finished by Joel Salt) Special Collections Librarian Research Services Division University of Saskatchewan Library Fall 2009 Collection Summary Title: Papers of Anne Szumigalski Dates: 1976-2008. ID No.: Szumigalski Collection: MSS 61 – Creator: Szumigalski – 1922-1999; Extent: 3 boxes; 46cm; Language: Collection material in English Repository: Special Collections, University of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Biographical Note: Anne Szumigalski, poet (b at London, Eng 3 Jan 1922; d at Saskatoon 22 Apr 1999). Raised in rural Hampshire, she served as an interpreter with the Red Cross during World War II, and in 1951 immigrated with her husband and family to Canada. A translator, editor, playwright, teacher and poet, she was instrumental in founding the Saskatchewan Writers' Guild and the literary magazine Grain. She wrote or co-wrote 14 books, mostly poetry, including Woman Reading in a Bath (1974) and A Game of Angels (1980). Her poetry explores the world of the imagination, a fantastic landscape that stretches between and beyond birth and death and is characterized by the simultaneous concreteness and illogic nature of dreams. She also explores the formal possibilities of the prose poem in several volumes, including Doctrine of Signatures (1983), Instar (1985) and Rapture of the Deep (1991). Because of its appearance on the page, the prose poem is freed from some of the conventions and expectations of the lyric poem, lending itself well to the dreamlike juxtapositions and leaps central to Szumigalski's work. She also wrote her autobiography, The Voice, the Word, the Text (1990) and a play about the Holocaust, Z.
