Ariel Marken Jack haunts a crooked house in the mouth of a river in rural Nova Scotia with their spouse, a trio of shadow-fiends in feline form, and a 1969 Fender Super Reverb. Their fiction, essays, reviews, and interviews with other artists have appeared in a broad range of Canadian and international literary magazines, anthologies, and other publications. Their literary work has been supported by generous grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and Arts Nova Scotia. When not writing, reading, or thinking about writing and/or reading, Ariel plays with songs and scythes, makes paper and prints, and visits the ocean to commune with their seaweed kin.
