Critics have called her a "spellbinding phrasemaker" whose poetry is "daring," "cinematic in scope" and "fearlessly droll." Her books include Vancouver Walking, winner of a BC Book Award for poetry; Recipes from the Red Planet, a BC Book Award finalist; and Nightmarker, a Vancouver Book Award finalist. Last fall she served as the Vancouver Public Library Writer in Residence, leading workshops in songwriting, and writing about places. This fall her first novel Rupert's Land will be published.
