We’re looking for readers interested in presenting their work at our reading room at this year’s Vancouver Art Book Fair. The theme is GHOST STORIES and we want work that explores themes like ancestral spirits, diaspora, haunting memory, hungry ghosts, grief, and restless spectres.

It’s also a good time to celebrate the hard-won fruits of subversive action, and continue to sit in that space of cutting through illusion by putting dreams of a brighter future into practice.
