Wild Words cover

As the first collection of literary criticism focusing on Albertawriters, Wild Words establishes a basis for identifyingAlberta fiction, poetry, drama, and nonfiction as valid subjects ofstudy in their own right. By critically situating and assessingspecific Alberta authors according to genre, this volume continues thework begun with Melnyk's Literary History of Alberta.

Showcasing the diversity of writing in Alberta, Wild Words opens a much-needed conversation about what, if anything, binds people together in particular places. - Alison Calder, University of Manitoba
