Authors & Headliners

Kathy Fisher is an Edmonton-based, Montreal-born multidisciplinary artist, performance poet and documentarian. A host in the local literary and spoken word scene, Fisher regularly produces and hosts evenings of words and music whose poetry has been published in traditional and on-line literary journals. A keen collaborator, she regularly performs spoken word and song with a roster of musicians. In 2023, she wrote, directed and produced her Spanish-flu themed show, Vox Virago, as part of The Travellers, a six-person ensemble. Recent poetry commissions and performances include two tribute poems honouring colleagues at McGill Law School, where she had her first poems published 40 years ago. Her video-poem wabi-sabi, co-produced in collaboration with filmmaker Louise Abbott, screened in LA in November 2024 at The Film and Poetry Symposium where she performed a lively poetry reading.
