Across poetry, non-fiction, and translation, Lauren Peat’s work explores the slipperiness of language, identity, and desire.

Her debut poetry chapbook, Future Tense, was published by Baseline Press in 2024, and her writing has appeared in international magazines, local city buses, and the repertoires of acclaimed choral ensembles across Canada.

Also an editor and facilitator, Lauren works with emerging writers both individually and in group settings, and frequently teaches low-barrier workshops in galleries, bookstores, and public libraries.

She lives on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, where she practices being in relation with the world around her—through words, as well as through folk music, urban gardening, Zen meditation, and community organizing.

She would love to hear from you.
