Really, is there anyone who doesn’t love Maggie?

Spent the weekend in a town was dripping with CanLit icons. Kingston WritersFest welcomed: Margaret Atwood

Gil Adamson Lorna Crozier Leon Rooke and The Dewey Divas (sans Dudes??)

Kingston, in the Autumn, with folks that love books … what could be better? How about Kingston, in the Autumn, with a book in hand and a warm bowl of chilli in the other?

Chilli Fest Kingston is hot stuff. Saturday, October 3, 2009 12 Noon to 4pm Confederation Park, Downtown Kingston

By the time the election results roll in tonight, there will be Canadians across the country sighing “Oh dear, … still no imagination in Ottawa.”

But let me assure you that there is imagination in Ottawa and it is apparently a renewable resource. So says the fall edition Writers Festival with the theme: Imagination is a Renewable Resource. 

Among the favourite Canadian authors touching down in the capital, keep your eyes peeled for Nino Ricci, Sandra Gulland, Kenneth Oppel, Paul Quarrington, Austin Ckarke, Rawi Hage, Bill Gaston, Joseph Boyden, Kenneth J. Harvey, and Gil Adamson. Keep your ears open for the Masters Series and poetry galore.

Oct 13-21 Ottawa
