Please note all requests for Zoom links to “Haven at Home” evenings need to be done before 5pm.

Due to the late start of our poetry reading series (launching the online “Haven at Home” October of 2020) we are extending the season to include the following dates:

Monday March 29^th  and Monday April 12^th

Please note that all the eight minute featured reader spots are filled from our wait list. Open mic readings of 2 minutes each are still available each night.

See you at the next “Haven at Home”, Monday March15^th!

We have all recognized the impact of the COVID–19 situation, and after careful discussion, it has been decided to extend the deadline for submission of poems to the Stroll of Poets’ Anthology 2021. Members may now submit their poems up until midnight on Monday, March 15, 2021.

In a year when we’ve been prevented from meeting in person, it’s more important than ever that we provide an opportunity for our members to participate. Having your poem appear in the 2021 anthology is a great way for you to still take part, at a distance, in Edmonton’s poetry community.

To date, we’ve received approximately 65 poems. We definitely have room for more, so we urge you to take advantage of this great membership benefit and submit a poem to strollantho@writersguild.ab.ca.

This deadline extension applies only to poems, not to cover art. The cover art competition is now closed.

As well, a limited number of copies of the Stroll of Poets Anthology 2020 are available for purchase. If you would like to order, please go to https://www.strollofpoets.com/purchase-stroll-anthology/
