Vol. 15 Contributor Spotlight: Yasmin Wooldridge

Meet Yasmin Wooldridge! Yasmin’s poems, “6:45 a.m.” and “Memori,” will be featured in our upcoming issue, Vol. 15!

How Yasmin describes “6:45 a.m.” and “Memori,” in 12 words or less:
“Grief juxtaposed between absence of life and presence in nature; fluidity of time within a memory.”

Yasmin Wooldridge is a creative bog-hag, primarily a poet, living on Treaty 4 Territory. Born in Karachi, Pakistan, she and her family lived there for 18 months, then they spent five years in Doha, Qatar. In her youth she and family travelled widely, giving her a great scope of experiences and knowledge. She inherited a curious, wandering spirit from her mother, and it is the elements of travel and grief that reflect in her work. She was a reader for the Jaipur Literature Festival Toronto 2020 and the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild Book Bytes series 2022, and has been published in [SPACE] Magazine.
