McNally Robinson Booksellers' monthly art series in Prairie Ink Restaurant presents Mike Grandmaison showing Mike Grandmaison's Prairie & Beyond from May 7, 2012 - June 3, 2012. 

Still and stunning, wild and challenging, the Canadian Prairie is breathtaking to behold. In lush full colour, award-winning photographer Mike Grandmaison’s expert lens captures the vastness of sky and land with scenes of the elusive Northern Lights, misty fields at dawn, endless horizons, and the immense skies that define the prairie landscape. A place notorious for hardship and subsistence survival, the Prairie yields its beauty to the patient watcher. From birds soaring over wetlands, to wildlife grazing across rolling grasslands, Grandmaison’s trained eye misses nothing to bring the prairie to life in this remarkable volume.

The winter issue of Contemporary Verse 2 features Maureen Scott Harris and Jan Horner, "Two poets in conversation about poetics, friendship and the writing life."
