Anne Simpson was UNB’s twenty-second writer-in-residence during the 2002-2003 academic year. She was awarded the 2004 Griffin Poetry Prize for her poetry collection Loop. In a 2008 interview with Valerie Poulin, Simpson provided a number of tips to writers seeking advice from resident writers; Simpson recommended emerging writers send a limited amount of unfinished nnwork so that she could find places where the writer could improve, and also advised that writers send texts that they have been working on for some time, so that they may have already seen the work’s weakness and strengths by the time they meet with her.
