This event series is supported by the League of Canadian Poets and the Writers’ Guild of Alberta.
About the Feature: Nikki Reimer (she/they) is a poet, editor, interdisciplinary artist, and nonfiction writer residing on Treaty 7 territory. Their fourth book of poetry, No Town Called We (Talonbooks, 2023), was a semi-finalist for both the Raymond Souster and Pat Lowther Memorial Awards. GRIEFWAVE.com, a multimedia, web-based, extended elegy, was launched in February 2022. Reimer works at the intersections of the analog and the digital, challenging conventional responses to bodies, death, and capital. They are currently working on a book of hybrid textual and visual poetry written under the constraint of the epistolary form. Visit reimerwrites.com.
