Leah Horlick is a Canadian poet, who won the Dayne Ogilvie Prize for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender writers in 2016.[1]
She has published two poetry collections, Riot Lung (2012) and For Your Own Good (2015).[2] Riot Lung was a nominee for the ReLit Award for poetry and the Saskatchewan Book Award in 2013,[3] and For Your Own Good was named a Stonewall Honour Book by the Stonewall Book Awards.[3] For Your Own Good was inspired by her experience of being sexually assaulted by her first girlfriend after coming out as lesbian, and finding a dearth of literature on same-sex assault to help her process the experience.[2]
Originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,[2] she was educated at the University of Saskatchewan.[4] She is currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia, where she is co-curator with Estlin McPhee of the Reverb reading series for LGBT writers.[5]
