Heidi Greco is a longtime resident of Surrey, BC. In addition to writing and editing, she often leads workshops – on topics that range from ekphrastic poetry to chapbook making. She’s been an advocate for the literary arts in her community and was instrumental in establishing two distinct reading series, but she considers her greatest success to have been convincing her city to hire an official Poet Laureate. She writes in many genres – with poems, fiction, essays and book reviews to her credit. Her books include a novella, SHRINKING VIOLETS which was co-winner of the Ken Klonsky Award in 2011. Her work has also appeared in many anthologies, most recently in MAKE IT TRUE: POETRY FROM CASCADIA (Leaf Press, 2015) and THE REVOLVING CITY 51 POEMS AND THE STORIES BEHIND THEM (Anvil, 2015). In addition to making Sunday suppers for her adult sons, she keeps a sporadic blog at outonthebiglimb.blogspot.ca.
