Vol. 28 No. 1. Mental illness, substance abuse, and disease – and that’s not the half of it! Featuring interviews with and poems by Patrick Lane, and a tribute to and work by the late Winnipeg poet Patrick O’Connell, this issue uncovers the grit that poets use to make pearls, and the lows that they know all too well. You’ll also find new poems by Deirdre Dwyer, rob mclennan, and E. Alex Pierce.
