ABOUT

Alice has published eleven collections of poetry, two novels for young adults
and an award-winning collection of essays about poetry and science. She came to
Edmonton the long way round. She grew up in Dumbarton, Scotland – a small town
on the banks of the Clyde, not far from Glasgow. Her family came to Canada when
she was eight, and she grew up in Toronto before coming west to work as a
reporter on The Williams Lake Tribune in British Columbia. She has been an
active supporter of the arts and writing community:

 * First poet laureate for the City of Edmonton (2005-7)
 * Past president of the League of Canadian Poets,
 * Past president of the Writers Guild of Alberta,
 * Past chair of the Edmonton Arts Council.
 * Founder, Edmonton Poetry Festival
