She has created many performance/sound works, written a libretto for a one-act opera, and translated ten books of poetry and prose from French and Romanian, including Catherine Lalonde’s The Faerie Devouring (Book*hug 2018), which was awarded the QWF’s Cole Foundation Prize for Translation) and Bertrand Laverdure’s Readopolis (Book*hug, 2017), fpr which she received a Governor General Literary Award for Translation). She is physically based in Montreal and virtually at oanalab.com.
