endless rivers and

evergreen trees and

lakes as deep as the eye can see.

 

welcome home, welcome home,

the shale beckons me,

and welcome back.

 

towering mountains and

luminous skies and

ice that chills to the bone.

 

memories, 

never ending memories fluttering,

pluck them patiently to see,

 

memories of home,

memories of thunder bay.

 

bienvenue de retour.

Kaitlin is a bilingual (French and English) writer originating from friendly Thunder Bay. They are in their seventh year at York University, where they study professional writing with an emphasis on journalism. They live with their partner of nine years and their cat, Tessa. They started writing with a passion and a poem that eventually won third in a contest 12 years ago, and started editing not too long after. When not at the keyboard, Kaitlin can be found reading, cooking, playing video games, or holding Tessa. Their favorite movies are scary and their favorite television genre is reality. Kaitlin's passions include copyediting, anything scary or spooky and adding to her collection of dolls, magnets and cups. Their favorite part of writing/editing is giving others a chance to share their story or achieve their dreams and offering insight on "the little things." Some of Kaitlin's favorite topics reflect on their personal life, including health/disabilities, fringe topics and social issues.
