Launch: The Vagrant Revue of New Fiction

The Vagrant Revue of New Fiction launched in Halifax on May 28th. I got to visit the very orderly city of Halifax and twack around Agricola and then downtown. The Vagrant Review is an anthology, with writers from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador represented. The editorial policy was literary merit, not provincial representation.

It was probably the swankiest, and certainly, the busiest launch I’ve attended, but then I’m no ravin’ maven of parties given for books.

Check your indy bookseller for this one. Vagrant, an imprint of Nimbus, is repped by the Literary Press Group, and there disturbing stories – surely I’ve misunderstood – that Chapters Indigo ordered no spring titles from LPG.
