On our July 2020 episode of CJSW Writer’s Block, poet Bertrand Bickersteth talks about his collection The Response of Weeds, (Newest Press) which explores what it means to be Black and Albertan through a variety of prisms: historical, biographical, and essentially, geographical; and Doreen Vanderstoop discusses her bestselling debut novel, Watershed, (Freehand Books), a spellbinding "cli-fi" (climate fiction) story set in the drought-stricken Alberta of 2058.
