About our reader

A photo of writer Erin Brubacher. She is a light skin-toned woman with long, dark curly hair. She looks off to the left and wears a brightly patterned top.

Erin Brubacher is a multidisciplinary artist. She is the author of the poetry collection In the small hours: Thirty-nine months & seven days and co-author of the hybrid, performance-based book 7th Cousins: An Automythography. Her award-winning work in theatre has taken her to contexts including the National Arts Centre (Ottawa), the Aga Khan Museum (Toronto), Festival Internacional Cervantino (Mexico), Theater der Welt (Germany), and the Edinburgh International Festival (UK). She is driven by the desire to make meeting places: for her, art is a framework that serves to gather people who might not otherwise be in a literal or figurative room together. Erin lived in 10 cities before returning to Toronto, where she makes a home with her husband and four children. Visit erinbrubacher.com for more information.
