Bookmark is a program dedicated to exploring the Alberta literary
scene.
Non-fiction exposés, spellbinding mysteries, performance poets and
poets-laureate, authors, booksellers, publishers - we will encompass all things
literary and "of-the-book" as they may emerge in Alberta. Tune in for
feature readings, interviews, book reviews, round-table discussions on contemporary
literary and social issues, Alberta best-seller lists and just about anything
else that seems just too good to leave out! Bookmark is hosted by broadcaster,
journalist and book publishing executive Ken Davis.
Bookmark airs Sundays from 12:30-1pm
