Perfect travel read: Blaine Newton’s short story collection Rag Pickers. Charming, moving, expertly crafted, often funny β€” these stories amaze & delight. Just right for the jumbled reading on journeys: on planes, in airports, in the passenger seat of a van. Recommended.

With contributions from Chic Scott to Liza Piper to Bruce Cockburn (!) to …dozens & dozens more, this is a fantastic, monumental (mountainous?) work. Cheers to Eric & all.

And great to have it in @nichecanada.bsky.social / @ucalgarypress.bsky.social Canadian History & Environment series.

Looking forward to "Mountain Voices" taking its place atop the Canadian History & Environment tower of power.

And we're always looking for more books for the series. If interested in developing an #envhist / #cdnhist collection, drop a line.
