The wait is over. WONK 4 out.

January 18, 2010. The rumours are true. Every last one of them. Even the ones spelled without a ‘u’. Especially the one about WONK 4 being out. That one’s spot on actually.

It features an amazing cast of contributers, including: David Helwig, Glen Sorestad, Marguerite Pigeon, Jessica Hiemstra-van der Horst, Andreas Blixt, Williams Nichols, Malora Kirk, derek beaulieu and Patricia MacQuarrie.

Yes. Indeed.

Remember, there are at least four ways to get WONK. You can:

  1. Pick them up for free at various places in Wetaskiwin (including the library, and Caelin Artworks) and Camrose (Merchants Tea House);
  2. Get them from a friend who has a copy of WONK who is either not looking or is finished reading, his mind sufficiently blown;
  3. Subscribe for free to the electronic version. Which has the same content but not same awesome layout and/or smell.
  4. Subscribe for a a small fee. Have your own personal copy of each WONK (there will be 12) delivered right to your mailbox in all its paper and black and white glory. Included in the envelope will be a) a few extra copies to do whatever it is you kids do with extra WONKS, b) a personal hand written letter from the editors or someone they have met and convinced to write a letter and c) any back issues that you don’t already have.

It’s official: WONK is now officially accepting submissions for WONK 5. Send them here.

WONK 4 almost ready

January 15, 2010. The draft is finally out to the artists. If all goes well, you’ll be reading WONK 4 next week. And, hopefully, doing a lot of other cool stuff. But we have no control over that. Only the WONK part. And, to be honest, we haven’t done a great job of that. But, if we’re lying, everything’s going according to schedule. I guess it just depends on your perspective.

Either way, WONK 4 is an amazing collection of talent and wonderful people. Even if they weren’t great writers, poets, artists and photographers, I still think you’d want to have a coffee and muffins with them. They include: David Helwig, Glen Sorestad, Marguerite Pigeon, Jessica Hiemstra-van der Horst, Andreas Blixt, Williams Nichols, Malora Kirk, derek beaulieu and Patricia MacQuarrie. Wow.

Remember, there are three ways to get WONK:

  1. You can pick them up for free at various places in Wetaskiwin (including the library, and Caelin Artworks) and Camrose (Merchants Tea House)
  2. You can subscribe for free to the electronic version. Which has the same content but not same awesome layout and/or smell.
  3. You can, for a small charge, have your own personal copy of each WONK (there will be 12) delivered right to your mailbox in all its paper and black and white glory. Included in the envelope will be a) a few extra copies to do whatever it is you kids do with extra WONKS, b) a personal hand written letter from the editors (often rambling and not pertaining to the subject at hand) and c) any back issues that you don’t already have.

So, I guess that means that we are now officially accepting submissions for WONK 5. Send them here.

things are getting serious for WONK 4

We don’t usually update the site so often but let’s not question it.

Preparations for WONK 4 (sight, vision, seeing, etc, etc) continue whole heartedly. The big news, so far, is that it will feature work from at least one outstanding poet — Marguerite Pigeon, and at least one amazing illustrator — Jessica Hiemstra-van der Horst. If you don’t believe me, check out their work for yourself.

There is still room for you in WONK 4. In fact, we encourage it. But we thought you might like to know that you’ll be in very good company.
