About the Featured Reader
Skylar Kay is an Albertan poet and grad school dropout. Her debut collection, Transcribing Moonlight (Frontenac House 2022) earned a shortlist nod for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award for Poetry, and won the BPAA’s Robert Kroetsch Award for Poetry. In 2024 she received a Lieutenant Governor Emerging Artist Award. Her second collection There’s Magic Here Too: A Trans Woman’s Guide to Being Monstrous (Frontenac House) was released in Fall 2025. These days, she likes baking muffins, tolerating her cat, and reading as much poetry as possible.
