They're Talking About Me
Last month, Meg Walker from UBC's Public Affairs department interviewed me for a story she was writing about UBC's Downtown Eastside community service learning initiative. You see, I've been teaching creative writing at UBC's Learning Exchange in downtown Vancouver all summer (and having a great time while doing it). The writers who come to my course are all fantastic -- they're open and sharing and I'm always inspired and energized when I come away from a class. Anyway, UBC wanted to do a story about the teaching course I took last year (which is how I first hooked-up with the Learning Exchange), and they decided to focus on me for the story. It was a little overwhelming, especially seeing as I certainly wasn't the only one in the class, but, well, you can read the results of that interview (and see the results of photographer Martin Dee's efforts) in this month's volume of UBC Reports.
