Carol L. MacKay (BC chapter) has been prolific as of late. A Literary Harvest: Canadian Writing About Wine and Other Brews (Longbridge Books, Montreal), was released in January, which features two of her poems. Her short story for children, “Bringing in the Sunshine,” a Norse-based folktale, has been published by New South Wales Department of Education by The School Magazine in the Feb. 2025 issue of Touchdown! Her self-published poetry book, Bird, Making No Sound: Collected Poems, released last year, is now sold out. It was a finalist in the 2024 Sunshine Coast Writers and Editors Society Book Awards and is available in various public libraries across the country. Sea & Cedar Magazine is publishing “Too Much a Knitting Poem” in their upcoming Spring 2025 issue. Labybug magazine reprinted her action poem for children, “Swinging into Town.” And, if you were travelling through Edmonton via the International Airport recently, The YEG Short Story Dispenser, may have dispensed you one of several pieces Carol contributed to the project.
