Salazar is a writer, editor and community organizer currently living on the unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik people. The author of poetry chapbooks the knife you need to justify the wound<\/em> (Rahila's Ghost) and Guzzle<\/em> (Anstruther), she also edits for The Fiddlehead<\/em> and Plenitude<\/em> magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry, sulphurtongue<\/em> asks how to redefine desire and kinship across languages, and across polluted environments. An immigrant family scatters over a stolen continent. Oracles appear in public transit and online. Bodies are transformed by nearby nickel mines. Doppelg\u00e4ngers, Catholic saints and polyamorists alike pass on unusual inheritances. Deeply entangled in relations both emotional and ecological, this poetry collection confronts the stories we tell about gender, queerness, race, religion, illness and trauma, seeking new forms of care for a changing world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s Canadian Writers in Person Lecture Series lineup consists of a unique selection of emerging and established Canadian writers whose writing explores a broad range of topics and geographical and cultural landscapes. Featuring seasoned and emerging poets and fiction writers, the series highlights Canada\u2019s ever-growing pool of literary talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
