Hatley Poet Angela Leuck and Louise Abbott of Rural Route Communications are collaborating on a new book--an anthology of work by contemporary women poets of the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The Townshippers' Research and Cultural Foundation as well as the municipality of Canton de Stanstead and the MRC de Memphrémagog have all contributed funding for this exciting project, which is the first of its kind. Louise is creating portraits of the poets for the book and also filming some of the poets as they read their poetry. The anthology will be published by Studio Georgeville and launched in the winter of 2021.
