Author Biography

Alanna Veitch, Queen's University

Alanna Veitch is an emerging disabled poet-scholar currently living in Ka’tarohkwi (Kingston) Ontario. She is pursuing a PhD in Gender Studies at Queen’s University, and has a master’s in health science. Veitch’s work grapples with female embodiment, disability, temporality, crisis, social justice, and hope. She has had the pleasure of performing her poetry at Artfest Kingston, and has had pieces published in Devour: Art & Lit Canada and “More than a Gathering,” an anthology from Poets@Artfest 2023. Veitch uses poetry to assemble a self, inviting the reader to reflect alongside her with patience and curiosity.
