Description: Crabapple Mews Collective is an author collective made up of volunteer writers and editors.
Crabapple Mews Collective is an author collective made up of volunteer writers and editors. We draw on our backgrounds as writers, teachers, editors, booksellers, designers, academics, publishers and producers of kick-ass literary events to help bring new stories to readers. Our story starts here.
Two books were added to the Crabapple Mews orchard in the past year. Impact: Women Writing After Concussion is an anthology edited by E. D. and Jane, and published by University of Alberta Press . The book is full of personal essays framed, topically and thematically, by poems by Kyla Jamieson. In total, 21 women share their experiences with concussion. From the introduction: “The lack of research on women and concussion is just one example of medicine’s patriarchy problem and of broader social inequities.
Impact was featured on CBC’s The Next Chapter in a heartfelt conversation with Shelagh Rogers, Jane and the uber-talented Kinnie Starr. E. D. had the pleasure of meeting Shelagh Rogers in person at this year’s WordFest where they hugged and compared rainbow fashions. And on another thrilling note, Impact was named Trade Non-fiction Book of the Year at the 2022 Alberta Book Publishing Awards.
