Shirley Graham
Before coming to Canada, she studied English and Writing at U.C. Irvine and at Brown University, and also attended workshops with Mark Strand, Carolyn Forche, Sharon Olds, Robert Haas, Galway Kinnell, and Robert Pack.
A poet and California native, Shirley Graham has been published in North American literary journals for more than three decades. Shirley, who has made Salt Spring her family’s home since 2000, says she is grateful for the island’s population of “informed readers…well-read and curious.”
