Writers wanted
Attention closet keyboard klankers and newbie novelists: Four Corners Writers is seeking submissions from area writers for its second anthology of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. The upcoming collection follows the success of the Cortez-based nonprofit’s 2024 anthology, “Four Corners Voices,” which features the work of more than 40 regional authors and poets.
According to editors, preference will be given to works by Four Corners writers and settings or themes relevant to the Four Corners region.
The new anthology will contain 12 short stories, 12 essays and 24 poems, although the final mix may vary. Selections will be made by editors Chuck Greaves (fiction), Gail Binkly (non-fiction) and Sarah Carr (poetry). Submissions are due by July 1, and selected entries will be announced by Sept. 30. The group hopes to have the book out in time for 2025 holiday shopping season.
Four Corners Writers formed in September 2023 with the mission of “identifying, developing and promoting literary voices in the American Southwest.” In addition to the first anthology, it hosts monthly writing workshops at ZU Gallery in Cortez on a variety of writing- and publishing-related topics.
The 2025 anthology is made possible by grants from the Ballantine Family Fund, the LOR Foundation and Hutton Broadcasting.
For details on how to submit, go to: fourcornerswriters.org.

Gas prices are once again giving America something to complain about. And while the local beer meisters at Ska Brewing can’t fix the price at the pump, the brewery is offering one small bit of relief: a new light beer that costs one cent less than the price of a gallon of unleaded gas.
Introducing Ska’s newest brew: West’s Easy Light Lager, because “everything else is so hard.”

It’s a mash-up made in Westernwear heaven. Sort of. Seems Chaco, the purveyor of the iconic strappy dirtbag river rat footwear, has joined forces with Wrangler, as in tight jeans, big belt buckles, bull riding and snap shirt fame.
