In this episode of Pretty Heady Stuff, Halifax's Poet Laureate Anna Quon talks about the places and people that her poetry comes from, why she is committed to using art as a means of documenting the suffering and joy that we experience, and how to advocate for more inclusive forms of care.
Quon is a writer and writing workshop facilitator. Her first novel, Migration Songs, was released by Invisible Publishing in 2009, and her second novel, Low, in 2013. Her latest, Where the Silver River Ends, which makes a trilogy of her first two unrelated stories, was published in 2022. Her short film Me and My Teeth is available on CBC Gem as part of the Reel East Coast series (Season 10).
