She will also share some of her current work on women, their unseen genius, clothing, climate and change. Yvonne is a writer and poet and is the past poet laureate of Victoria, BC, having served from 2015-2018. Her most recent book is Death of Persephone: A Murder and she is currently editing an anthology of poems on ice, her third anthology of water-based poems.
