The best from Alberta's lit magazines to be read outdoors on August 26

Short stories and poetry from some of Alberta's best literary magazines will be read en pleine air (outdoors to you) at the Olympic Plaza in Calgary on Sunday, August 26 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. 

Selected by Alberta Magazine Publishers Association members, the works will be read in an event hosted by Calgary's Poet Laureate Kris Demeanor and will feature readings from the likes of Shannon Lee Bennett, Marcello Di Cintio, Jon R. Flieger, Barb Howard, Naomi K. Lewis and Fred Stenson. (In case of rain, the readings will be at the Central Library.)

"Bring sunscreen and mittens -- it's Calgary, after all," say the organizers.
