Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is the author of three books: Dancing on Our Turtle’s Back (Arbeiter Ring Publishing 2011), The Gift Is in the Making (Highwater 2013) and Islands of Decolonial Love (ARP Books 2013). She is “a gifted writer who brings passion and commitment to her storytelling and who has demonstrated an uncommon ability to manage an impressive range of genres from traditional storytelling to critical analysis, from poetry to the spoken word, from literary and social activism.” In 2014, Leanne was named the inaugural RBC Charles Taylor Emerging writer by Thomas King. She is of Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg ancestry and a member of Alderville First Nation.

We would like to acknowledge the Coast Salish peoples whose unceded ancestral territories we are on.
