\"Spacing<\/a><\/div>\n
Each year we endeavour to bring Thursdays Writing Collective<\/a>‘s work to an audience outside the Downtown Eastside via a publication. This year, due to funding restrictions, we are unable to publish a chapbook. Our solution is to relaunch the popular Postal Code Reading Series that originated to support\u00a0V6A: Writing from Vancouver\u2019s Downtown Eastside<\/i>\u00a0(Arsenal Pulp Press, 2012), whose sales fund the Collective.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are thrilled to kick off the series with Madeleine Thien and hope you can join us on April 15, 2014 at 12:30pm at SFU\u2019s WAC Bennett Library, Special Collections, Burnaby<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Madeleine Thien, the current SFU Writer in Residence, will be reading a text from our collaborative project \u201cLetterings.\u201d This year Collective members have been writing about the epistolary: letters and communication in all forms. Madeleine is one of five guest authors to write a letter – or \u201cseed\u201d text – to Thursdays Writing Collective that we then respond to in our own individual texts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At future spring dates downtown guest authors Amber Dawn, Alex Leslie, Clint Burnham and Kevin Spenst will read their texts along with the respondents from the Collective.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We look forward to seeing you!<\/div>\n
