Writer-in-residence looking forward to connecting to area

Antigonish’s newspaper, The Casket, published a piece on Chris Benjamin as the Writer in Residence at the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library. Here is an excerpt:

New writer-in-residence at the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library Chris Benjamin is looking forward to connecting to the area more, through his role.

Though he has done many workshops through the Writer’s Federation and in schools each year this is his first experience as an official writer-in-residence.

“I’ve always passed through this area – as a kid I did summer camps in New Glasgow – but I’ve never fully connected to the place or spent a lot of time here,” Benjamin said. “I’m really excited about just getting to know another part of Nova Scotia.”
