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.

sorestad added to WONK 4

The exciting times continue as new work from Saskatchewan’s first Poet Laureate (and really nice guy), Glen Sorestad, has been confirmed for the upcoming WONK 4.

WONK 4 will feature an excerpt from his new book Road Apples that is forthcoming from Rubicon Press — purveyor of very fine (yet extraordinary cheap affordable) chapbooks.

Yes, there is still a little room for you in WONK 4 (sight, vision, etc, etc). And if not in 4 then in 5. Or 6. Well, you get the idea.

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.

WONK 4 is at the door

It seems like we just sent out WONK 3. In fact, we just did. Or, in some cases, we’re about to. Tomorrow. We promise.

But time keeps on slipping (into the future) and so we need to get WONK 4 ready. The theme this month is something like vision, sight, eyes, seeing, etc. Whatever. Loosely, of course. If that doesn’t turn your crank. Well, send something else.

If you would like to submit to WONK. Email us right now.

Now’s the time. Do it. This time for sure.

You’ll feel better.

Or, at least, we will.
