Shelagh speaks with Lisa Moore about February, a novel set in the aftermath of the Ocean Ranger oil-rig tragedy off the coast of Newfoundland.

Also, Mike Heffernan speaks about his nonfiction book Rig: An Oral History of the Ocean Ranger Disaster.

In the second part of the show, Next Chapter producer Tom Howell reports back to Shelagh on the experience of reading Canadian poetry all season long, and the three Canadian nominees for this year's Griffin Prize talk about their work and ideas: that's A.F. Moritz, Jeramy Dodds, and Kevin Connolly.

Plus the Mystery Books panel recommends great summer reads (see separate blog entry).
