Morse’s latest poetry title Prairie Harbour features a long poem set in Saskatchewan, and includes an interlude about fur trade history in Manitoba. He currently resides in Winnipeg.



Glenda Walker-Hobbs helped co-found the Flin Flon Writers Guild and serves as its secretary. She is a member of the Saskatchewan and Manitoba Writers Guilds.
