In 2017 NeWest inaugurated a new poetry series to go alongside their Nunatak First Fiction, Prairie Play, and Writer as Critic series: Crow Said Poetry. The series is named in honor of Robert Kroetsch’s What The Crow Said novel, and aims to shed light on places and people outside of the literary mainstream. The poets featured in this series continue Robert’s literary tradition of innovation, interrogation, and generosity of spirit.
