a display of titles by Joe Blades at UNB Fredericton,

Given that he was an instructor in the Maritime Writers' Workshop, the university bookstore at UNB Fredericton requested copies of Joe Blades' Casemate Poems (Collected) and Prison Songs and Storefront Poetry for an in-store display. The books and display will be there at least a month. If you're in the area, isn't this the best time to swing by and pick up a copy or two?
