Wendy Donawa spent 36 years in Barbados as student, college instructor and museum curator.

Her poems appear in Canadian anthologies, magazines, and solo chapbooks. Her début poetry collection, Thin Air of the Knowable (Brick Books, 2017) was a finalist for the Gerald Lampert award.  Our Bodies’ Unanswered Questions (Fontenac House, 2021) is her second book.
