Charlotte Cranston is Edmonton’s first Youth Poet Laureate. In addition to being a poet, she is a workshop facilitator, an occasional princess, and a two-time member of the Edmonton Slam Team, which competes nationally at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word. Her work has been published in The 40 Below Project Volume II, The Glass Buffalo, The Gateway Magazine, and several online publications. Currently she runs a youth poetry meetup series called Young Edmonton Poets, or YEP! She loves the smell of lilacs and the sound of distant lawnmowers.
