Salem Paige (they/them) is a transgender poet and designer living on Algonquin Anishinaabe territory (so-called Ottawa, Ontario). They work in Communications for the Government of Canada, and spend their free time reading, writing, napping excessively, thinking about bugs, and annoying their partner and their two cats.
Their art revolves around the exploration of identity, technology, space, nature, and the uncomfortable through sublime language and existential, often visceral imagery.
In 2022 they were shortlisted for the Bridport Poetry Prize and longlisted for the ROOM Poetry Prize.
