"A Canadian national tresure," poet, author, musician and media artist Heather Haley pushes boundaries by creating across disciplines, genre and media. Published in numerous journals and anthologies, she is the author of the forthcoming Three Blocks West of Wonderland and Sideways, described as "brawny and uncompromising" and “supple and unusual.” She was an editor at the LA Weekly, publisher of Rattler and the Edgewise Cafe, one of Canada's first electronic literary magazines. Architect of the Edgewise ElectroLit Centre and the Vancouver Videopoem Festival, her own works have been official selections at dozens of international film festivals. She is the host and curator of SEE THE VOICE: Visible Verse at Pacific Cinémathèque. An accomplished performer, Haley has shared her poetry and music with audiences around the world. Most recently she toured eastern Canada and the U.S. in support of her AURAL Heather CD of spoken word songs, Princess Nut.
