Fred Wah Remembers Roy Miki

Fred Wah remembers the late author and activist Roy Miki in The Capilano Review. Miki was a prolific author, editor, academic, and community leader whose tremendous impact was widely felt. Miki taught in the English department at Simon Fraser University for over thirty years, and was instrumental in the achievement of Japanese Canadian Redress. He passed away last month.

Of Miki, Wah writes, “For myself, and many others who benefitted from Roy’s intelligence and creativity, there is a sad chasm of bereftness. He brought a palpable sense of care and attention into matters urgent in our lifetime, all of which imbue the memory of the future with wonder and possibility.”
