KYLA JAMIESON (she/her)

I am a disabled Yonsei poet, writer, editor, facilitator, speaker, and teacher. I live and rely on the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, and hold an MFA in Creative Writing. My poetry, essays, and interviews have appeared in SAD Magazine, ELLE Canada, The Vault, Plenitude, The Account, Peach Mag, and elsewhere. I have participated in the Banff Centre’s Writing Studio and my research and writing have been supported by the BC Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts. I have been the Poetry & Prose Editor for SAD Magazine and the Prose Editor of PRISM international. My début chapbook of poems, Kind of Animal, was published by Rahila’s Ghost Press in Spring 2019. Body Count, my first collection of poems, placed third in the 2018 Metatron Press Prize for Rising Authors, judged by CA Conrad and Anne Boyer. Body Count was published by Nightwood Editions on April 18, 2020.
