In case you didn’t know (or had forgotten), The Stroll of Poets Anthology 2022 will be our 30th Anniversary special edition!

As of today, January 7th, only 8 DAYS remain until the submission deadline of midnight on Saturday, January 15, 2022. The deadline applies to both poetry and cover art submissions.

To date we’ve received:

> 27 poems

> 21 cover art entries (from 7 different people)

For comparison, the 2020 and 2021 anthologies contained 100 poems and 92 poems respectively. It would be great to see comparable numbers for this 30th anniversary edition. I believe our members can rise to the challenge!

Dear Strollers,

It’s a great honour to be part of an organization that marks thirty years of bringing poetry to the greater Edmonton Community and beyond. An abundance of initiatives have been rolled out to start this milestone celebration at the Stroll of Poets and we’ve only just begun!

This fall we had a bountiful batch of poetry readings at our online “Haven at Home” series and hosted an average of 30 people each night.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your participation and enthusiastic support that fuels this rich community of poets, writers and volunteers.

On behalf of the Stroll of Poets Board Members and Associates, we’d like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a winter wonderland filled with joyful words during the holiday season!

With warmest regards,
Janis Dow
