Undergraduate Writing student Cody Klippenstein wins award

Fourth-year undergraduate Department of Writing student Cody Klippenstein recently won the 2012 Fiction Prize for The Fiddlehead, the University of New Brunswick’s literary journal. Her winning story, titled "We've Gotta Get Out of Here," was originally submitted as an assignment for a workshop class led by Writing associate professor Lee Henderson. Henderson, who describes the story about an Asian punk rock girl living in Vancouver in the early 1980s as "basically pitch-perfect," also has high hopes for the rest of the students in that particular workshop. “This was an exceptional class of writers, so I view this win as just the tip of the iceberg," he says.
