Her first collection of poetry, Slow Scrape, was published in the Documents series by The Centre for Expanded Poetics and Anteism, Montréal in 2020 with a second printing in 2021. Slow Scrape is, in the words of Layli Long Soldier, “an expansive and undulating meditation on time, relations, origin and colonization.&quot; Slow Scrape can be read alongside Lukin Linklater’s practice as a visual artist and choreographer. She has also published in periodicals and publications by galleries. In 2021 she received the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts for Visual Art. She is a doctoral candidate in Cultural Studies at Queen&#x27;s University.~Alasdair Rees is a Fransaskois writer living on Treaty 6 territory in Saskatoon where he teaches French at the University of Saskatchewan. In 2019 he was chosen to become Saskatchewan’s first Youth Poet Laureate. A former Poetry Editor of Grain Magazine, Alasdair has been published by Ancrages, GUTS magazine, Moebius, and Metatron Press. Recent work was longlisted for Prism Magazine’s Pacific Spirit Poetry Prize. His first book, Mon écologie, appeared last June with Les éditions du blé. Alasdair is currently developing a new suite of performance work to be presented in the spring of 2022 at Saskatoon&#x27;s Remai Modern in the context of the gallery&#x27;s Sustained Artist Project. ~Kathleen Cauley is a librarian and musician. Before moving to BC she was an active member playing violin in the Ottawa based band Loon Choir touring the country, playing festivals and receiving rotation on the CBC.
