Katherine Miller

My areas of specialization include Canadian literature, creative writing (poetry and fiction), and feminist theory. I have published two collections of poetry: Ghosts Still Linger and Strange Labyrinth. My collection of short stories, The Eater of Dreams, was shortlisted for the 2020 Danuta Gleed Literary Award, and “Dancing the Requiem,” a story from this collection, won Prairie Fire’s 2018 fiction contest.
