Celia Ste Croix has been writing poetry since she was about eight years old, but she is more likely to say ‘since before I could spell, though the spelling hasn’t improved much.’ No matter what else she has done, as a job or for fun, poetry has always been present in the background. She has been published in Lichen Literary Journal, Wynterblue Thunder, Arcady Literary Magazine and won honourable mention in the Winston Collins/Descant Prize for Best Canadian Poem. This is her first published book.
