Hey folks! We're busy getting the 16th issue ready for next weekend. We've come a long way and we've really let our magazine morph along the way. This has been an exciting journey and one that I am personally (Tim Lowing) very proud of. I confess that I've somewhat "let it be" when it comes to Poplar and while doing that, I've really deep dove my own vision for how I'd like this magazine to grow.

When you create a project like this from scratch, it has to have some room to breath. And that is not to say there wasn't a plan off the top, as there was. But, as the launch settled into our early issues, the ideas started to shape what we slowly became, while setting us down a unique path of self discovery.

When I look back on our contributions, I smile. We've had a diverse bunch come through, all whom wanted to participate with their words or shutters and all of them left their mark. Can't be more proud or impressed. And to be honest, I always wanted Poplar to be a space where those who partook, did so for their own value. I never wanted anyone to feel stressed by their participation, including myself; Life has many ways for us to feel anxious - contributing to Poplar Magazine need not be one of them.

In the next issue we will have a growing "authors" presence, which I obviously connect with deeply. I will also be sharing an excerpt from my upcoming work, Finding Laughter - How stand up comedy saved a mans life. Check it out, I am very proud of this book and project overall and can't wait to share more and more of it with the world.

This issue will introduce Michelle Harris, Author of "Explore the Green Side of Edmonton" and curator of Nature Loop. Michelle has worked in environmental conservation for well over a decade and her new book speaks in depth to all that Edmonton has to offer when it comes to "green".

The 16th issue will see a few old friends move into more specific roles and of of course, our usual crew will be back with featured columns.

Independent media is really become an interesting conversation, one that needs to be had, and we want to offer our voice. If you're in Alberta and have something to contribute, we want to speak with you! DM us today and maybe, you too can participate in the future of Poplar Magazine.

Some Saturday morning reads for ya...

The recent poor decision by the Alberta government to ban certain books from school libraries got me thinking about the Victorian era and the subsequent use of flowers to convey secret messages.
