Kirsty lives on a Lasqueti Island homestead with her husband and two little children. Her first book of poems True (Leaf Press, 2011) has been shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Award. She wrote the lyrics for Humminah, and Goodbye To A Boy with Kim Barlow, and was the muse in Fairy Wings. She read poems at the 2011 Whitehorse Poetry Festival, and then sped to the hospital to help deliver her best friend’s baby, whose water burst at the reading! She turned her first chapbook into a movie, The Night My Creampuffs Fell.
