Trailblazing poet, author, musician and media artist Heather Haley pushes boundaries by creatively integrating disciplines, genres and media. Published in numerous journals, anthologies and collections Sideways (Anvil Press), and Three Blocks West of Wonderland (Ekstasis Editions), her work has been described as “a highly fueled poetic ride; fierce, racy, full of stiletto irony and verve, yet rife with sensitivity.” She was an editor for the LA Weekly, publisher of Rattler and the Edgewise Cafe, one of Canada's first electronic literary magazines. Architect of the Edgewise ElectroLit Centre, the Vancouver Videopoem Festival and Visible Verse at Pacific Cinémathèque, her own works have been official selections at dozens of international film festivals. Haley has gained renown as an engaging performer, sharing her poetry and music with audiences around the world. Most recently she toured eastern Canada and the U.S. in support of her critically acclaimed AURAL Heather CD of spoken word songs, Princess Nut.
