It might seem like a long way off, but next September I’ll be teaching at Hollyhock on Cortes Island - a remote island off the coast of British Columbia, one of the Northern Gulf Islands.

When I was a kid Hollyhock used to be a place called Cold Mountain Institute, where my friends’ parents used to go to find themselves. But that’s another story… Writing in the Digital Age, 28 Sept - 3 Oct 2012.
