Gentle SPECTRUMS discussion

Here is SASKATCHEWAN literature from author birth or residency!
Because authors move and write a variety of settings, birth and main emigration provinces will inform the category. For example, landing in Manitoba at first, yields less of a connection than making a home in Saskatchewan.

Many of our friends and peers would benefit from a provincial database and I am happy to make it! These will comprise Saskatchewan material I am aware of, including books I have not read. Additions are welcome from all of you.

* I am just getting started. I will edit whenever I have time. *

Question: ought we skip authors or books we deemed poor, or ought we leave them for potential readers?

This is a great idea, Carolyn! My personal answer to the question would be to leave the poor ones in, in case they appeal to others, though you could mark them in some way if need be, perhaps with an asterisk?

Hi Kerri! It is fun, even if a slow checking search, to introduce and organize authors by province. I knew you would be among those who loved this resource. For now, I'll do a little of each to get people informed and started.

I suppose I should include everyone, even if low quality is a fact, not an impression. There might be value in letting people have a go with the likes of David Arnason, or "Surfacing" by Margaret Atwood ~ *shudder*!

We at Gentle Spectrums are welcoming new Canadian members. As we build these provincial databases - drawn from a decade of reviewing at my blog, members are invited to add authors they like. I like them in plain text without HTML code links. Simple lists are clean and all the information we need to browse new possibilities.

If the format typed isn't quite right, I need only adjust it. Just feel at leisure to drop authors, titles, and first publishing years off under each provincial folder! :)
Your Manitoba hostess sincerely, this fine summer day, Carolyn.
