Laura Sergeant (she/her) spent her twenties playing electric guitar on North American stages and spent subsequent decades as a Social Work specialist in the field of child and youth mental health. She’s been published in Canadian and American literary journals. Her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, won the Hamilton Arts and Letters’ Short Works Prize in Nonfiction, and has been runner-up for HA&L for Poetry.
