Amanda Earl (she/her) is a Canadian pansexual polyamorous feminist who writes poetry and prose, makes visual poetry, edits, and publishes others from her 19^th floor apartment in Ottawa, Ontario. The work is an excerpt from Welcome to Upper Zygonia, a poetry manuscript in progress that engages with Utopias and dreams of a better world. Earl is grateful for funding received from the City of Ottawa for this work.

She’s the author of Kiki (Chaudiere Books, 2014, now with Invisible Publishing), Coming Together Presents Amanda Earl (Coming Together, 2014) and A World of Yes (Devil House, 2015), and over 30 chapbooks. Her most recent chapbook is Matthew (Knife Fork Book, 2021). For Electric Garden, Earl received the Tree Press Chapbook Award in 2017 and in 2014, she was inducted into the VERSeOttawa Hall of Honour.

Earl is the managing editor of Bywords.ca, the editor of Judith: Women Making Visual Poetry (Timglaset Editions, 2021) and the fallen angel of AngelHousePress. Her visual poetry has been exhibited in Brazil, Canada, India, Italy, Russia, Sweden, UK and USA. More information is available at AmandaEarl.com or connect on Twitter @KikiFolle.
