Taryn Hubbard is a writer whose first full-length poetry collection Desire Path-which focuses on the poetry of place of Surrey, BC-is available through Talonbooks.

Double Take - Their Collaboration in Maple Ridge

As collaborators, they produce site-specific and gallery-based art works that respond to their surroundings. Their vision is to ignite conversation and art-making participation in themes related to the environment, particularly through a lens that looks at the intersection of the suburban place, transportation, development, nature and technology. Their proposal, "Double Take", will use temporary artworks at different sites around the community to enhance and reflect on the spaces we see everyday.

Poetry About Maple Ridge & the Environment: Temporary Public Sign Project

Online Digital Recording & Limited In-Person Program

Residents are invited to share their thoughts about home and the environment for a chance to be featured on temporary signs that will be installed in various places throughout the community. Selected thoughts, words and poetry will be featured on signs that will be temporarily installed in sites, such as storefronts, front lawns, parks, civic facilities, and other spaces for residents to encounter as they go about their day throughout the month of July.
