About the Author: Nadine Shelly has been dreaming and playing with language for as long as she can remember. She was born in Papua New Guinea and grew up in La Ronge, in northern Saskatchewan. She has been on Salt Spring Island for most of the past sixteen years, along with journeys to Japan, Mexico, Guatemala, India, Nepal and parts of Europe. She lives with her favourite muses, artist Joshua Beckett, and their children, Kephra and Atum Quinn, in an arbutus grove on a hill. Nadine has published one book of poetry, Barebacked with Rain with Exile Editions (1990), and her work was included in the anthology Breathing Fire: Canada's New Poets, edited by Lorna Crozier and Patrick Lane (1995). She received the Morley Callaghan Protege Award from the Toronto Arts Award Foundation, and has read at the Vancouver International Writer's Festival. Nadine is currently at work on her first book for children.
