Vancouver, British Columbia's vast and varied contemporary poetry scene
is on display in Vancouver: Alive at the Center, a community-based
anthology. A collection of more than 75 poems from a wide spectrum of
poets, Vancouver: Alive at the Center is a cultural snapshot,
showcasing the best new and established voices from this city. Three
poets from Vancouver came together to recognize the best work of their
peers, curating a collection that explores the atmosphere, beauty,
complexity, and personality of their home. As the inaugural project from
Ooligan Press's Pacific Poetry Project, this book embodies the Project's
mission to bring poetry to the people by making contemporary poetic
voices accessible and exciting for everyone through community
involvement and conversation.
