Featured Reader Sharon McCartney, is a poet, editor, technical writer, mother, brilliant observer of life. McCartney jumps with both of her poetic feet into various and compelling worlds of fiction— Little House on the Prairies series, Anna Karenina. Once there, she conjures for us poignant co-narratives, and feeds them to us as poems drawn from characters both animate and inanimate. They touch and re-touch the soul. Perhaps she will read for us from her latest book of poetry, The Love Song of Laura Ingalls Wilder, or from her previous book, Karenin Sings the Blues.

McCartney has also authored, Under the Abdominal Wall (Anvil) and the chapbook Switchgrass Stills (littlefishcartpress). Her work has been published in numerous magazines and journals including PRISM international, Event, Grain, sub-TERRAIN, Prairie Fire, Iowa City and the Malahat Review. McCartney has an MFA in poetry from the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop and a law degree from the University of Victoria. She works as a legal editor in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and is poetry editor for The Fiddlehead.
