Words We Call Home (UBC, $19.95)
Seems like only yesterday, but it's actually been 25 years since the UBC Creative Writing department, the first such accredited writing department in Canada, first took attendance.
In honour of the department's silver anniversary, an anthology, Words We Call Home (UBC Press, $19.95), has been edited by Linda Svendsen. Numerous contributors pay tribute to C.W. department founder, Earle Birney, who was succeeded by department heads Robert Harlow and George McWhirter.
