About the authors:
Jenny Sampirisi is a Toronto writer and editor. She is the managing editor for the poetry publisher, BookThug, and the online vispo journal, Other Cl/utter. She is also an executive member of the Scream Literary Festival. Is/was is her first novel. The Globe and Mail praised Is/Was as “remarkable for its layered insights and depth of observing…. Where the book really shines and lingers in memory is in the parsing of the family’s internal dynamic.”
Aaron Peck was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and now lives in Vancouver BC. He is an editor at both the on-line Doppelganger Magazine and the literary press, Greenboathouse Books, which publishes beautiful handmade books in limited edition. The Bewilderments of Bernard Willis is his first novel.
