Chris Traynor

I was born and raised in Nanaimo, BC. I completed a double major BA in English and Creative Writing at Malaspina University-College (Vancouver Island University). My main literary interests are in contemporary and postcolonial literature. After completing a MA in English at UBC, I spent a year teaching and dodging sunburns in Vinh, Vietnam. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy watching baseball and spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, and running with my dog, Ichiro.
