(2020)
Abstract
With its over 250 prose and poetry narratives, biographies, and recipes, Rachel Rose has edited a timeless anthology, Sustenance: Writers from BC and Beyond on the Subject of Food. Rose, named Vancouver’s poet laureate in 2014, wanted to produce during her tenure a book such as Sustenance,to “…engage those outside of the poetry community as much as those within it” (p. 13). To complete the project, she enlisted colleagues – gifted poets and teachers – to interact with people in Vancouver and elsewhere, to find the poetry and other narrative treasures that appear in the book.
