Sustain and Nourish by the Thursdays Writing Collective, investigated the connection between literature and food considering ideas related to neighbourhood-specific issues. Community writers will create and present new work in response to research, field trips, guest authors, and through food-related Social Creation Nights at local restaurants. Working closely with lead artist, former Vancouver poet laureate Rachel Rose, participants held public readings at the Vancouver Food Bank, the Heart of the City Festival, and publish an anthology.
