About the authors

SARAH MURPHY is a Calgary based performer, author, intermedia and visual artist who has contributed to the Canadian arts scene and to her wider community for over twenty years. Best known for her award-winning performance monologues and innovative novels and short stories, Murphy has also produced installations that coordinate with intermedia performances. Her spoken word work is especially groundbreaking, and richly deserves recognition for bringing to spoken word prose the resonance of poetry. In her long career Murphy has participated in the arts not only through her own work, but through her support of other artists and artists' organizations. She has been mentor and teacher in Canada and the UK, as well as giving workshops and courses with various UK literature festivals, and more formal courses with Mount Royal College, The University of Calgary and Calgary's Alexandra Centre. Murphy has been a four-year member of the executive of The Writers Guild of Alberta, a member of the board of The Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers and president of EM Media.
