The Banff Book Awards will also take place during the festival. Earlier this year, Alberta climber and photographer Jon Popowich wrote about the importance of the book program for mountain literature.
“In terms of these top-drawer participants, few could argue with the climbing and literary qualifications of Michael Kennedy,” Popowich wrote. “From 1974 to 1998 he was editor of Climbing, and from 2009-2012 editor-in-chief of Alpinist.
“Kennedy said that ‘after only a week into the program, it by far exceeded my already lofty expectations. The setting, the support; everyone here is serious about the work; self-critical, direct and honest, but not competitive, we’re all in this together. The faculty are skilled. I edited for a living and am familiar with what that means.'” Read the story here.
