Summer Institute Anthology

The Summer Institute Anthology is composed of creative and practical pieces authored by the teachers who participated in the MBWP's Summer Writing Institutes. Forms range from lesson plans to poems, essays, and opinion pieces among many others.

2021

Summer 2021, writers came together from across Canada (and even the United States!) to learn, wander, wonder, and write together at the Summer Writing Institute. Each writing group submitted a section to the anthology, featuring a piece from each writer. Please download the attached PDF for the compiled anthology.

Who will build the fire?

Freedom and Rights by Amanda Borton

Some people don’t eat; we say ‘that’s life’.
Others get beat; we say ‘not our fight’.
Some are held prisoners for their political stance,
We look the other way, hardly offering a glance.
