Description:

In early 2020 the Sudbury Writers’ Guild put out a call for stories and poems inspired by the love-it-or-hate-it transformed Paris St. landmark, the Sudbury General Hospital of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  In July 2019, Up Here Festival invited the artist RISK to create Canada’s largest mural on the hospital’s walls. Selected from more than 60 poems and stories, the Guild’s just-released chapbook presents a unique perspective on the hospital and the mural.
