New Year's Greetings from Calgary

by Shaun Hunter


I love the handwritten message on this 1906 postcard: "Which one are you?" No doubt, the sender had something else in mind. For me, the postcard is the perfect tagline for the blog series I launched during Stampede Week in 2015.

Seeing Calgary through the eyes of writers reminds me that this is a complicated city with a multitude of stories that capture the particular essence of this place. 

So far, the blog has run 37 posts spanning the city's 140-year history, its geography and the literary genres. The posts have struck a chord with resident Calgarians, far-flung expatriates and literary travellers. 

Thanks to all of you who have joined me on this virtual walk through Calgary's literary landscape, and welcome to those who are just tuning in. I hope you discover the city you recognize, and the one you've never seen before.
