River City Writer

The University of Alberta has a new Writer-in-Residence as the 2007-2008 school year comes to an open next week. His name is rob mclennan.

Rob is a writer of poetry and fiction, and his new blog, Alberta, Writing, seems to indicate that he’s ready to throw himself into the Edmonton literary scene with gusto. He’s also offered to be a source for River City Writer. Rob’s going to try and keep me in-the-know with regard to readings around town, and I’ll pass that information on to you.

I’ll also be feeding rob with lies and secrets about the Edmonton literati, so that he can spread news around the University, and tell people just how awesome the scene here in Edmonton is.

On a related note, I’d like to thank whoever it was who directed rob to River City Writer. Hopefully, this little relationship will prove beneficial for everyone involved.

Author’s note: I’ve been informed that it should be “rob mclennan,” not “Rob McLennan,” and have edited this entry accordingly. I’m still capitalizing “rob” when it’s the first word in a sentence, though.
