While you're at the Millennium Library check out The Manitoba Writers' Guild Envoi Series. Come see these framed broadsheets, featuring the works of Manitoba writers in a design by Manitoba Book Design Award winner Susan Chafe, printed by the Martha Street Studio (Manitoba Printmakers Association).

Participating writers are: George Amabile, David Bergen, Di Brandt, Simone Chaput, Dennis Cooley, Lisa Gaboury-Diallo, Maureen Hunter, Charles Leblanc,Roger Léveillé, Duncan Mercredi and Joan Thomas. The series takes its name from Robert Kroetsch poem of the same title.


A few copies of each broadsheet (out of only ten printed for each) are still available for purchase at $100.00 each (plus tax) at McNally Robinson. The series is a fundraiser for the Manitoba Writers' Guild. All the work for the series has been donated, from the texts to the sales support by McNally Robinson Booksellers.
