It is Room Magazine‘s 35th Anniversary party on Dec. 9. There is NO way I can be in Canada on Sunday, but I do have a poem called “Hospital Work” in the 35th issue.
Lorrie Miller says: “The jobs that women have often expected to take, domestic or service-based, are well represented in our fiction. Debra Martens, who first appeared in Room in 1987, now brings us the plight of a young waitress. Janna Payne highlights the vocal and the silent in a woman worker as she manages work and being true to herself. Vivian Demuth’s poem takes us on a metaphorical vertical wilderness journey.
“Stevi Kittleson creates whimsical botanical wonders from discarded irons and pencils. Colleen Gillis takes readers into the workday of a traffic officer, and the work of the heart, caring and nurturing, comes through the fiction and poetry of Eliza Victoria, Marilyn Gear Pilling, Janet Hepburn, and Sadie McCarney.”

Room is Canada’s oldest literary journal by, for, and about women.
