Weyman Chan

Recipient of the 2021 Writer’s Trust Latner-Griffin Poetry Prize, Weyman Chan lives and works in Mohkinstsis (Calgary) on Treaty 7 Territory. His second book, Noise From the Laundry, was a finalist for the 2008 Governor General’s Literary Award for Poetry. Chan is a member of the filling Station magazine poetry collective. He is also working on a book of hybrid poetic fiction, Chronicle of a Sleep Tower. Weyman Chan’s notable past works include Human Tissue: a primer for Not Knowing (Talonbooks, 2016), which traces the making of monsters – real and metaphysical – when faced with unreliable creation narratives; and Witness Back at Me: mismothering and transmigration (Talonbooks, 2022), an intersectional biography of the author’s spiritual partnership with the late poet Sharron Proulx-Turner.
