Each summer, The Banff Centre's Literary Journalism program takes in eight senior journalists and writers and charges them with a simple, if daunting, Write about something you really care about. In this third installment of the Banff Centre Press's literary journalism series, participants push boundaries and arrive at some of their most passionate work.
