History

Edges published seven collections of creative writing between 1986 and 1988. Some Canadian writers who were published in Edges Literary Magazine include Robert Hogg, Beth Goobie, Ralph D. Witten, Gail Sidonie Sobat, and Aaron Bushkowsky.[3][4] In the late 1980s, the Ledges Publishing Society frequently organized poetry readings in conjunction with the release of each issue.[5] These events often took place at the Marc Bistro and Gallery in Edmonton and at Blue Nile Ethiopian and European Restaurant on Whyte Avenue and 109th street.[6]
