About this title

Synopsis

In a world that often pushes us to the margins, sometimes the fringe is where we find our truest connections.

"A Collection of Community" brings together the voices of Mount Royal University's write club in a powerful exploration of tradition, companionship, and vision. This anthology showcases over twenty emerging writers who gathered weekly in within a clubhouse to their most vulnerable truths and forging a community that transcends the ordinary boundaries of academic life.

From poetry on marginalization to intimate reflections on friendship, from experimental fiction to heartfelt personal essays, these pieces invite readers into a space where vulnerability becomes strength. Here, a business major finds her voice in poetry, an anthropology student processes his experiences through haiku, and countless others discover that their words matter—that they belong in this gathering at the fringe, where the most authentic conversations happen.

This collection stands between the threshold between preservation and reinvention, between the rituals grounding us and the changes propelling us forward. This anthology is a testament to what becomes possible when strangers become a collective and community through the simple and revolutionary act of sharing words.

Whether you're a seasoned writer or someone who has never dared to call yourself one, these pages hold both invitation and promise. Join us on the fringe, where community forms around our most honest words.
