Jared Bland, ME of The Walrus, to join publisher House of Anansi

Fresh off the launch of an anthology he edited for the benefit of PEN Canada, Jared Bland, the managing editor of The Walrus, is leaving to join the publishing firm House of Anansi. He'll leave a big gap in the front line of The Walrus, having played a key role in managing the publication and overseen the fiction, poetry and arts and culture sections of the magazine. He also blogged regularly for the magazine about books, authors and literature.
