Our friends over at Open Book are hosting a fabulous contest featuring your chance to win five poetry books from the Porcupine’s Quill.

These books are all part of the Essential Poets series, but you might not know that they all feature writers from the Maritimes that we here at PQL feel deserve more recognition.

Plus, we’ve included a hot-off-the-press, just-released book for your reading pleasure: The Essential Charles Bruce! This collection–the eighteenth in our Essential Poets series–resonates with the sights and sounds of the Maritimes and embraces rural settings, tactile imagery, structural simplicity and direct language.

Head over to Open-Book.ca to enter to win whopping prize pack. You could win a copy of each of these wonderful books:

• The Essential Robert Gibbs selected by Brian Bartlett
• The Essential Kenneth Leslie selected by Zachariah Wells
• The Essential Travis Lane selected by Shane Neilson
• The Essential Dorothy Roberts selected by Brian Bartlett
• The Essential Charles Bruce selected by Carmine Starnino

What are you waiting for? Enter today!
