Common Magic: The Book of the New with Danielle Gugler (Artful Codger Press, 2008)

A poetic tribute to Bronwen Wallace by contributors to the 2008 Common Magic Conference at Queen's University.

The book begins with Bronwen Wallace's classic poem "Common Magic" and includes work by thirty-four other writers—among them Bronwen's son Jeremy Baxter; Amy Logan, the daughter of Bronwen's friend Pat; friends including Lorna Crozier, Jan Conn, Phil Hall, Mary di Michele, Joanne Page and Carolyn Smart; six winners of the Bronwen Wallace Award; some who knew here only through her books. 

Common Magic: The Book of the New affirms the importance of Bronwen Wallace's poetry and short fiction in the living tradition.
