Another congratulations is in order for this wonderful publication by Sage Hill alumni & past instructor, Lisa Richter! 🎉💗

"Sublunary is an underworld Babylon and masterwork of controlled fire—‘The ultimate immersive experience!’—that turns the contestable purpose of poetry, and aboutness of a poem, on its head. In this resplendent collection, poems 'about' history, aesthetics, ancestry, aging, love, landscape, and dreams are revealed to be decoys for the great subjects, death and time. Richter’s shapeshifting virtuosity—a 'double exposure' of our lost worlds and living griefs—and her mystic's quest for a body and form to praise the real are the apotheosis of memory's ecstatic song." Virginia Konchan, author of Requiem

✒️ Cheers to the 2026 Spring Fiction Colloquium led by the wonderful Kevin Chong!

🐦 The writers not only worked on their manuscripts, but they explored the small rural towns of Muenster and Humboldt, fed chickadees, and relished in the quiet calming atmosphere of Saint Peter's Abbey.

💖 Thank you to everyone involved! You are a fun and lively group of people and we look forward to seeing everything you accomplish!

Thank you to SK Arts, Canada Council for the Arts | Conseil des arts du Canada, Sask Lotteries, and SaskCulture for supporting writing programs like Sage Hill.
