ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN LIT FEST From Leesa Dean's FB thread: "Speaking of powerful women... five of them on the same stage, two weeks from now. So proud of these five women who I have witnessed working hard and telling important truths through their fiction, non-fiction and poetry over the past 3-4 semesters. Come see them do their thing at Oxygen's Author Reading Series Wednesday, March 24th at 7 PM. I am hosting the evening. Everyone is welcome. Registration info in the link!"

This semester's (Winter 2021) last call for submissions is out!

If you want to see what I'm up to these days, come and join me on Blackbearreview.ca and at the Black Bear Review on Facebook where I have the privilege, as Managing Editor, of collaborating with fellow students and core creative writing faculty every single week on fiction, nonfiction, poetry, social media posts and awsome student -led podcasts! Best time ever!!! See you soon:)

For all my fellow creative friends:)

A good problem to have!

Check out some of the heavy-hitting talent that showed up at Black Bear Review Magazine's 5th annual "Freight Read" spoken word event yesterday - on Zoom!

To my artists, academic and activist friends, both bold and shy: Please consider submitting your gems for this edition! The editorial collective is a kind and generous crew. We will treat your literary children with care. Carina, for the Black Bear Review Magazine Collective
