Ontario, where she is active in
the writing community. She has written two books, Water Children, a poetry
collection (Mini Mocho Press, 2002) and Writing Your Way: Creating a Personal
Journal (Sumach Press, 2001), about the art and craft of writing. Both these
books received awards from the Hamilton & Region Arts Council. She has also
had poems and stories published in journals including CV2, Capilano Review,
Kairos and Fireweed, and she has adapted Margaret Laurence's novel for young
people, Jason's Quest, into a play. She
also teaches writing in schools, and works with the Canada-wide program
"Learning Through the Arts" (tm). Some of her work can be heard
