Sudds’s Just Poems (About Drugs) depicts long-time members of the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU), an organization Osborn helped create in the early 2000s, as they browse the poet’s archived notebooks at Simon Fraser University. With his writings as a touchstone, they reflect on Osborn’s legacy and VANDU’s ongoing work.

In Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, an organization of current and former drug users builds a community determined to keep people alive in the midst of an overdose crisis.
