a. rawlings Angela Rawlings grew up in Sault Ste. Marie. She moved to Toronto to attend York University. A multi-disciplinary artist, Rawlings blends her talents in dance, literature and theatre. In addition to her personal artistic works, Rawlings donates time to community projects such as the poetry series lexiconjury, hosting Heart of a Poet, and supporting Toronto’s Scream Literary Festival. Rawlings also assists with the Mercury Press and has worked as co-editor for the avant-garde poetry anthology Shift & Switch. In 2009/2010, Rawlings was creating work in Belgium and Iceland as the recipient of the Chalmers Arts Fellowship. Her published collection of poetry deals with the complications of classification. In her work, Rawlings is interested in exploring the aural, kinetic, and visual properties and possibilities of language. As such, Rawlings approaches her poetry holistically, considering reader responses not only in an intellectual sense, but kinetically: the movement of the eyes across the page, the mouthing of the words, following the lines with ones fingertips, etc. In this way, Rawlings is very aware of the text’s sensual materiality. Many of the poems in her collection, Wide Slumber come from locations in Northern Ontario, and for this reason the collection is dedicated to Northern Ontario.
