Spring has finally arrived in Ottawa, and so has the Spring 2004 issue of National Capital Letters: Ottawa's Literary Environment
http://capletters.ncf.ca

This issue confirms that literary arts and heritage are alive and well in the capital, with articles on Archibald Lampman's lasting importance for Ottawa poets, and records of contemporary literary activities, from the Slam scene to the celebration of National Poetry Month. We also have tributes to the Tree Reading Series, the winning essays in the Duncan Campbell Scott Non-Fiction Prose Contest, a report on the Ottawa Literary Awards, and much more!

National Capital Letters provides a venue for the recognition of Ottawa's rich literary history and for the promotion of the current, vibrant scene. The editors welcome submissions of articles, interviews, book reviews, literary manifestos, and any discourse on writers or literary events related to Ottawa, past and present.
