Stop! Look! Listen! is your one-stop destination for The Fiddlehead's cultural engagement.
Congratulations to all of the finalists for the 2016 Griffin Poetry Prize! This year's international shortlist includes Norman Dubie's collection The Quotations of Bone. The Fiddlehead has published Dubie's poems on two previous occasions, in issues No. 241 (Autumn 2009) and No. 262 (Winter 2015), and those poems appear in The Quotations of Bone.
I’ve been playing a lot of Kurt Vile, especially Smoke Ring for my Halo and b’lieve i’m going down; the latter took longer to grow on me but now I like it a lot. Also dug out some old vinyl, including Gilded Palace of Sin by Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Bros and can now declare that Sneaky Pete on steel guitar is an unheralded genius of the 1970s. Also want to plug an odd tune, "Saddle in the Rain," by John Prine: produced by Steve Cropper of Memphis, has horns, and about as funky as you will hear Prine the folkie get.
Get ready Fredericton for an onslaught of readings! Qwerty Reads on April 14, odd sundays on April 17, and two Atlantic Book Awards Festival events on April 20 & 21, featuring shortlisted authors for New Brunswick Book Awards and Atlantic Book Awards!
The Fiddlehead is pleased to present the winners of our 25th annual literary competition!
