About Me

Lisa Slater has been trying to move, inspire, tease, poke and push audiences with her poetry ever since she got shoved off a cliff by spoken word one crisp October weekend in Ottawa a couple of years ago. She writes about stuff that means something to her so that she can share pieces of her humanity with other people. It's scary work, but someone's gotta do it.
