"Sidles up to the nuclear core
of emotion that journalists usually keep contained ... here, the 'I'
has muscled to the foreground, and the writing is more interestingly
shaded."
- Susan Grimbly, Globe and Mail
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.
