Miranda Martel.

Small town valley girl from just north of Sudbury, a writer before she could write with childhood journals filled with passions and secrets, dramas and jealousies. With many creative outputs outside from her favorite, which include teaching dance, modeling, being a seamstress and herbalist, you can see that curiosity hasn't killed this cat. First introduced to poetry in high school with banal and conservative notions, her uniqueness was very misconstrued. Moving away to find diversity and excitement she found herself in Ottawa in 2011 finding poetic refuge in places like Umi cafe, old cafe Nostalgica, the Mercury Lounge and The Laff where she was introduced to an entire art scene, we could say she was deprived of. Connecting with poets, and musicians, healers and dancers Ottawa became her favorite city.
