Natalie Meisner is a professor, a playwright, a poet, a mom, and now a podcast host (not necessarily in that order). She was born on the Mi’kma’ki/South Shore of Nova Scotia where she began her curious life by reading, with wild abandon, all the books that came through in the town bookmobile. She has seven full-length books in various genres to her name, was Calgary/Mohkinstsis’s fifth Poet Laureate, and teaches creative writing at Mount Royal University where she loves helping other writers find their voice.
