Richard Harrison

A nice post on rob mclennan’s fab blog reprinting a piece by Richard Harrison about the late Canadian poet Riley Tench, who Richard mentioned to me in a Northwest Passages interview with him a few years back. Rob’s blog is fascinating reading, and I’m always amazed at how much he’s able to write on a regular basis. Happy to see, too, that he’ll be Writer-in-Residence later this year at the University of Alberta, in my own home and native land. He’s even started a blog on Alberta writing and has published a pretty impressive piece on the topic that I think might well become required reading for a grad seminar on prairie writing that I’ve got in the works .
