Corey Page Martin is a genderqueer poet based in Katarokwi/Kingston. They hold a B.A. (Hons) in Linguistics and English Literature and a B.Ed. from Queen’s University, where they are now pursuing a Master of Education. They serve as Editor at The Lamp and Poetry Reader at Heartlines Spec. Their writing and art have appeared in Quilt, and The Lamp, and elsewhere. Their first chapbook, JIM, came out this year with Anstruther Press.
JIM is an exploration of grief through poetry, made up of reflections on my father’s death, the process of grieving, and growing up with these feelings. In particular, these poems explore the specific grief that comes with being trans and losing someone before transitioning. It often feels like the version of me that I am now is a completely different person than the little girl that my father knew, and many of the poems in this chapbook strive to reconcile these selves.
