Morgan Tessier is an artist & poet living in Tkaronto. Her art is based in poetry, film, & collage, intentionally embracing the freak-brained, chaos-driven, kid-trapped-in-grown-up-body vibes that originated from her sad 12-year-old self. Her work has been featured in Discount Guillotine, Voicemail Poems, Stone of Madness Press, QT Literary Magazine, and the upcoming GOOPY GIRLS mag. She has performed for Wind in the Leaves Collective, Probably Poetry, Undisciplined, and The Donna Collective. She's currently interested in childhood cartoons, leaving the door open, and being a better friend.
