Ariel Marken Jack haunts a crooked house in the mouth of an Atlantic Canadian river alongside one spouse, two harps, and a trio of shadow-fiends in feline form. 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 pictures and prints, and visits the ocean as often as possible to commune with their seaweed kin.
