Description

Words We Call Home is a commemorative anthology celebrating
more than twenty-five years of achievement for the UBC Creative Writing
department -- the oldest writing program in Canada. The more than sixty
poets, dramatists, and fiction writers included provide just a sample
of the energy and vision the department has fostered over the years.
From Earle Birney's pioneering efforts in 1946, to the birth of the
department in 1965, to the present day, the programme has created a
place for aspiring, talented writers.
