Exploring the landscapes of death and grief, this collection takes the reader through a series of essays, drawn together from twenty-four Canadian writers that reach across different ages, ethnicities and gender identities as they share their thoughts, struggles and journeys relating to death. Be it the meditation on the loss of a beloved dog who once solaced a departed parent, the tragic suicide of a stranger or the deep pain of losing a brother, Locations of Grief is defined by its range of essays exploring all the facets of mourning, and how the places in our lives can be irreversibly changed by the lingering presence of death.

Her poems are included in several recent anthologies such as FORCEFIELD: 77 WOMEN POETS OF BC (Mothertongue Press, 2013) and THIS PLACE A STRANGER: CANADIAN WOMEN TRAVELLING ALONE (Caitlin Press, 2014).
