Hello, I am Chris Urquhart and I make stories that are true.
My first book is Dirty Kids: Chasing Freedom with America’s Nomads. This book is an ethnographic memoir about living and traveling with street youth, crusty punks and “Rainbows” from 2009 to 2012: It features a forward written by Occupy co-founder, Micah White, and photographs from Kitra Cahana.
My nonfiction writing has appeared in COLORS, Huck, VICE, Adbusters and Russian Esquire, among other publications. My fiction writing has appeared in CVC7: Carter V Cooper Short Fiction Anthology Series – Book Seven (Carter V. Cooper Short Fiction Anthology). I also work as a teacher.
Huge thanks / I am officially humbled by the support of my work from:
Canada Council for the Arts Literary Grant recipient (2010, 2013), Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) fellow (2010), Canada Graduate Scholarships Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplement recipient (2011) and Ontario Graduate Scholar (2016).
