Rip Rap
Fiction and Poetry from The Banff Centre for the Arts
edited by Edna Alford; Don McKay & Rhea Tregebov
In this second collection from The Banff Centre's Writing Studio program, forty-one accomplished writers share some of the poetry and fiction that grew from their Banff writing experience. In celebration of the Writing Studio's twenty-fifth anniversary, Rip Rap joins Meltwater as an important gathering of Banff Centre alumni, a tribute to the continuing influence of Banff on the lives and careers of writers across the country. The selections in Rip Rap are infused with a fresh perspective, offering a rare and intelligent clarity of vision. In joining the path travelled by so many before them, each writer adds his or her voice to the bedrock--both of Banff's writing community and of Canada's literary landscape.
