About Sam Convey
Sam Convey is a queer romantic poet from Northwestern Ontario, raised in the traditional territory of Fort William First Nation, colonially known as Thunder Bay.
After obtaining their degree in English Literature and History, Sam learned to communicate best through visual art and poetry. Sharing artistic expression within her community quickly evolved into a passion project, leading to a series of published poetry collections, speaking at local events, and assisting in the coordination of poetry-based workshops for writers.
Sam's most recent collection of poetry, I Kill the Bird Quietly, alongside her previous, Until I Feel Like My Own Mother, work to shed light on the life lived with post-traumatic stress outside the walls of true community support.
Sam's work can be found local to Thunder Bay at Entershine Bookshop, and online at @sunsand.roses on Instagram.
