Summer is coming, and that means it’s time for the Fernie Writers’ Conference (along with biking, fishing, cliff-jumping and a few other cool Fernie pastimes). This year the Conference organizers have stepped this annual event up a notch, building a presenter/instructor list that rivals those of the best literary festivals in the country. Watch for workshops and public presentations from the likes of Alison Calder, Steven Heighton, Sid Marty, and W.H. New. Most exciting of all, the keynote reading (July 23) will be given by Robert Kroetsch, “the Father of Canadian Postmodernism.”
