"... some of the best essays
this country's produced."
- Bert Archer, NOW
Each summer, The
Banff Centre's Creative
Non-Fiction and Cultural Journalism program takes in eight
senior journalists and writers and charges them with a simple, if
daunting task: Write about something you really care about. In this
instalment of the Banff Centre Press's literary journalism series,
participants push boundaries and arrive at some of their most
passionate work.
