Burt
aka. January Paige , Writer
“An intimate debut collection of Poetry, Prose and Non-Fictional Short Stories, "Then,When,Once" explores the deepy personal themes of family relationships, trauma, romance and womanhood, inspired by the Indigenous concept of circular story-telling.”
January Paige is a Georgian Bay Metis writer and artist who works closely with the land, time and memory within all that she does. With a focus on poetry, prose and non-fictional short stories, Paige hopes to tell the stories of her life and the lives of her kin that have come before her, and will continue to come after her with great love and honor. Inspired by the Indigenous concept of circular story-telling, Paige often references journals she wrote in as a child as research within her work, and considered everything she creates to be in collaboration with her younger self. Her debut collection Then, When, Once is set to be released within the next year, and will be previewed, accompanied by an interactive installation at OCAD U's Grad Ex 109.
