emerge 22: The Writer's Studio Anthology

emerge 22 brings together ninety writers from Canada and beyond, who journey in fiction, speculative fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, investigating belonging, joy, fear, and fascination along the way. The work in this anthology is both deeply human and

unflinchingly unexpected. In it, the body becomes a repository of stories, silence is a form of air pollution, and people turn into strawberries.

Join us to paint redwood trees in the Yukon, organize a Muslim funeral in Toronto, and ride a train in Japan toward questions about love and life. This collection embodies the vibrant creative community forged through Simon Fraser University's Writer's Studio program.

The journey is just beginning . . .

"Within this collection you will find what [Estés] calls 'story bones,' each one bringing us . . . a better understanding of ourselves and the world we live in."

-Jónína Kirton, author of Standing in a River of Time and An Honest Woman
