emerge 22

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 [Ests] calls 'story bones,' each one bringing us . . . a better
understanding of ourselves and the world we live in."
-Jnna Kirton, author of Standing in a River of Time and An Honest Woman
