As a socially awkward child they wanted desperately to be a wallflower, but somehow ended up being a sore thumb instead. Escaping into reimagined worlds of their own creation became a coping mechanism and survival skill. It wasn’t until five years ago however, that Kerry got an inkling to write ‘professionally’. Since then, their work has appeared in multiple literary journals and magazines. A byproduct of all that writing was being welcomed into the folds of The Writers Union of Canada’s BIPOC mentorship program for emerging writers in fall 2020 as well as becoming an associate member of the League of Canadian Poets. Kerry has written a novel currently titled, The Unfruitful Garden of Eden for which they are currently seeking publication, and intend to start work on their memoir this summer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb59bb6ba290a7c2ac4db92/56dc494e-a5bd-4bd4-b303-35d1eaa4614d/A25DA675-6477-4113-9141-C6C8BCB0891F.png Issues - Issue 8: Hope Christina Ciufo is a passionate writer in poetry, short stories, flash fictions, fables, and completing her first novel.

Her art is greatly influenced by her nomadic life. In her formative years she lived across the length and breadth of India, and later in vibrant cities like Tokyo, Dublin, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore and now Hong Kong, each having contributed to expanding her creative horizon. Armed with an attention to detail, creative exposure and exacting standards garnered from a career in ad-film making and print advertising, she turned her skills to painting full time around 8 years ago. Her paintings amalgamate memories and musings, from the mighty to the mundane. She wants her paintings to be about the pleasure of seeing, of finding a place and moment of quietude and connection. The artist is currently exploring what she likes to call, ‘Personal Geographies’- delving into memories, places, moods and experiences that mark her continuing journey and she uses abstraction as a way of portraying this introspection.
