Alberta

This summer, CBC Books built a literary map of Canada. From coast to coast to coast, CBC shows across the country brought together panels of book lovers to answer the question: 'What books do you really need to read to understand my home?'

CBC's wildly popular Daybreak Alberta will talk with Jordan Scott, the author of Blert, this Sunday, April 27. Scott is in Alberta for two book launches, one in Edmonton that Sunday, and one in Calgary on Tuesday (see our events listings), and he'll talk with host Terri Campbell about the two events, his new book, and the poetics of stuttering.<!--newline--><!--newline-->Daybreak Alberta airs weekend mornings from 6 to 9 a.m.

Sarah Lang, author of the brand-new poetry collection The Work of Days, recently answered some questions from University of Alberta writer-in-residence rob mclennan.
