"I believe she is one of the best up-and-coming younger writers in North America and I am always watching to see what she is doing.”Her writing has been published in various anthologies, journals, and magazines in Canada, the U.S., Aotearoa/New Zealand, Australia, and Germany and in the collection my heart is a stray bullet.
Currently, she is completed work on a CD of spoken word poetry and music; a collection of poetry; a collection of short stories; an anthology of erotica by Indigenous writers; and various multidisciplinary and publishing projects.
She is the founder and managing editor of Kegedonce Press.
"Her writing strikes me as a blend of things in a new way. It deals with the elemental, dreams and memories, but her portrayal of these things haunt you, they speak to you. She has attached herself to the vision sense of poetry. It makes her poetry powerfully mysterious," says Johnson.
