A word used in songs, scripture, and everyday language. ‘Forever’ carries a certain transcendence and comfort. Close out the festival by hearing writers’ relationships to the word — moments they wish could live on eternally, to how they might live differently, if our time here was endless.
Taking place within the majestic grounds of the Abbotsford Convent, wander through stalls selling zines, books, and other handmade wares. Mingle with writers, artists, small press publishers and grassroots collectives.
