“Wall of Shame” goes digital

The digital version of the current Geist magazine is now up and running. My story about the Saharawi refugee camps, titled “Wall of Shame,” begins on page 53. The good people at Geist did a fantastic job with the layout. My work has never looked so pretty.

This story has turned out to be rather important one for me. It represents the first chapter of my ‘Walls’ project and it is the piece I worked on during my literary journalism residency at the Banff Centre in 2008. In addition, this ‘Geist version’ – edited for both brevity and clarity – won the 2009 Dave Greber Freelance Writer’s Award.

While you are electronically flipping through the magazine, look for Billeh Nickerson’s McPoems. Fast food can be beautiful after all.
