This may prove to be the longest in this interview series; George had a lot to say. Here are some of our favourites:
-"No one should ever think their stories don't matter."
-"If you write, you're an intellectual! ... You're a funky intellectual!"
-"You live your life and you write your philosophy."
-"Trust your voice."
He also treats us to some very fine poetry readings ("Everything ... is Free!"), and tells us what he misses most about Nova Scotia. Sit back and enjoy!

We asked King's student Talia Meade to put together a short memorial video for him. Former Halifax Daily News copy editor Judy Kavanagh kindly provided some photos taken by various friends at the newspaper. Thanks for the stories, Mr. Saunders. ...
