Port Medway Readers' Festival 22-Jul-2017:
Darren Greer

Darren Greer’s fiction has looked at Nova Scotian communities from both sides of the tracks, from the very gritty lives of Just Beneath My Skin to the privileged family of last year’s Advocate. A writer of social conscience and deep compassion, Greer is generous to both characters and readers. Strange Ghosts, his books of personal essays, is unpretentious and warm, and reveals that rarity in Canada, a writer who loves writing about the visual arts. His poetry, journalism and short fiction have been published in The Gay and Lesbian Harvard Review, The Stockholm Review of Literature, Bywards Magazine, The Found Poetry Review, The Ottawa Citizen, Found Press,and Maclean’s Magazine. Just Beneath My Skin received the Thomas H. Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award, and the Toronto Star has called his work, “heartfelt, searing, and sad — and wholly captivating.”
