Please join fiction co-editor Mark Jarman, next week's Fredericton Arts Alliance artist-in residence, for a lunch-time celebration of a very special Summer Fiction Issue of The Fiddlehead. All through the summer, two artists of different disciplines share a studio in the Casemates (historic soldiers' barracks) in downtown Fredericton.
Don't forget that our summer fiction issue launch happens tomorrow, August 1 at 7pm. Come down to Gallery 78 in downtown Fredericton (796 Queen Street) and celebrate this strong issue. The launch coincides with Fredericton's culture crawl, a walking tour of downtown galleries and museums.
The Fiddlehead's poetry co-editor Ian LeTourneau was one of the invited guests of the Whitehorse Poetry Festival this past weekend, and he reports that it was a fabulous time reading poetry under the midnight sun.
Eliza Robertson, winner of The Fiddlehead's short fiction contest in 2010 (published in no. 243) for her story "Worried Woman's Guide," has just been announced as the regional winner (Canada and Europe) of the prestigious 2013 Commonwealth Short Story Prize for "We Walked on Water."
Lovers of all things literary are sure to love WordsSpring, a three-day event featuring book launches, a writing workshop, panel discussion and open mic brunch. Presented by the Writers’ Federation of New Brunswick, this semi-annual gathering will be held in the Kennebecasis Valley May 10-12.
It's officially spring here in New Brunswick, and now we have photographic evidence. We spotted this industrious groundhog today outside The Fiddlehead office window.
It must have got word our Spring issue is here! That's right -- we're preparing for the mail out now. Look for issue no. 255 soon in your mailbox, and come back soon for the announcement of our 22nd annual contest winners!
Please join the UNB community as we remember Elizabeth Brewster (1922-2012). A special memorial will be held this Wednesday, April 24 at 4 pm in the Alumni Memorial Building, 13 Bailey Drive on the UNB campus in Fredericton. The memorial will be followed by a reception and, for those who wish, a visit to Elizabeth Brewster's gravesite at the Fredericton Forest Hill Cemetery.
