Christine Stewart writes and teaches experimental poetry and poetics in the WRITE Programme. In addition, she teaches Indigenous literature, and works downtown Edmonton with adult learners at the Boyle Learning Centre in Boyle Street Community Services. This project is a Killam funded creative research programme that considers literacy within the context of the practices of experimental poetic forms. She is also a member of the local Olive Poetry Collective and the national Institute for Domestic Research. The IDR is a Canadian group of poets, scholars, musicians, visual artists, and composers who work collaboratively on various creative research projects. See below for a list of recent projects. Presently, she is conducting local creative research on the River Valley and Mill Creek with the composer Jacquie Leggatt for the Under Bridge project. This work will be presented in Yellowknife, NT, 2012. Recent publishing venues include Jacket, dANDelion, TRC, and Dusie. Two forthcoming publications: The Humanist (Red Nettle Press) and Virtualis: Topologies of the Unreal (BookThug), co-authored with David Dowker.
