We are delighted to introduce to you the Festival Image for the 2025 Edmonton Poetry 2025, “The High Level Magpie”.

“The High Level Magpie” is a depiction of the essential Edmonton bird pica hudsonia (aka the magpie) created by Ashley Rosenow of Illustrious Interiors as part of the mural that envelops the exterior of The High Level Diner. Local ornithologists can locate this particular feathered fellow on the east side of the building at 10912 88 Ave just at the top of the bike path that ascends up to (or descends down to) The High Level Bridge.
