VERONICA WOOD
This is really difficult.
I don't want to do this, but something doesn't fit.
I thought you would fill this hole in my heart, complete
the puzzle that is my life, but you don't connect with my
other pieces. I can't force a blue piece where an eye
should be a sandy beach...
Don't be puzzled over why I didn't do this in person,
I couldn't. Maybe we will talk later.
Goodbye.

NorthWord Magazine publishes twice a year through the support of community volunteers and advertisers.
For each edition, the Northern Canada Collective Society of Writers' Board of Directors selects a guest editor.
Each guest editor is required to pick a theme to kick-start the creativity. They also decide on the artwork for the front cover.
As submissions come in, the managing editor removes names before showing the guest editor for transparency purposes.
After the selection process, the publication is produced and disbursed throughout the Wood Buffalo region.
Accepted Submissions:
-
prose (3,000 words or fewer, fiction or non-fiction)

poetry (50 lines maximum)
