You can find Wendy’s poem on our YouTube Channel, as well as on all of our social media platforms.
By kind permission of the poet and Frontenac House.
Wendy Donawa spent 36 years in Barbados as student, college instructor and museum curator. She has returned to her salty West Coast birthplace on the unceded lands of the Esquimalt and Songhees people, whom she acknowledges with respect and gratitude. From her writing desk, she can see sunset on the Salish Sea and Sooke Hills.
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.
