Head to UBC on Thursday for a special literary Q&A session featuring poet, writer, editor, and chapbook-maker Kevin Spenst in conversation with Bonnie Nish, Executive Director of Word Vancouver Festival. This engaging dialogue offers audiences the opportunity to hear from one of Vancouver’s most dynamic literary voices as he reflects on his wide-ranging creative practice, his deep engagement with community, and his lifelong relationship with poetry, performance, and place.

This intimate conversation will explore Kevin’s creative process, his thoughts on the evolving literary landscape, and the forms of experimentation, collaboration, and lived experience that shape his work. From poetry and chapbooks to performance and literary community-building, the session invites audiences into the mind of a writer whose work is playful, searching, and deeply rooted in language.

Sometimes we need to flip perspectives to gain a bit of insight.

That's exactly what happens in Mahtab Narsimhan's Not Myself Today (Orca Book Publishers), a captivating middle-grade body-swapping story.

Mahtab is part of a group of authors visiting schools and libraries in Surrey as part of the literary festival.

What's a book you've read that helped you gain some perspective by mentally walking a mile in someone else's shoes?
