About the author

Sarah Hope Slean, b. 21 June 1977

Although perhaps best known as a recording artist, in addition to releasing nine solo albums and contributing to a variety of other artists’ projects as a vocalist, pianist and arranger, the two time Gemini and three time JUNO Award nominee has consistently refined her singular voice as an artist by expressing herself in a variety of contexts; as an actress, appearing in films such as David Morton’s Black Widow (2005) and CJ Wallis’s Last Flowers, as a poet, publishing two volumes of poetry, Ravens (2004) and The Baroness (2008) and as a talented visual artist.

Slean attended Dunbarton High School in Pickering. She initially studied music at York University. She then completed a degree in music and philosophy at the University of Toronto.

Some nice imagery, and a couple of the poems really hit home.
