Diversity and hybridity take the stage in our new issue with excerpts of C.E. Gatchalian’s play Falling in Time (currently playing at the Performance Works on Granville Island), winning haiku from the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival 2011 Haiku Invitational, and a photo gallery “Mixed Races, Mixed Faces” with photos of our readers and their thoughts on hybrid identity.
