"Isabella Mori writes pretty much everything that's not nailed down: Fiction (a 15th century monk whose best friend is a comfrey plant), nonfiction ("All the way from the eocene on Highway 400"), and poetry, with an emphasis on Japanese forms such as haiku and haibun. Their great love is hybrid work, like in their latest book "Believe Me", which combines poetry, stories, interviews and research on topics of mental health and addiction. They run Canada's most unusual poetry prize, Muriel's Journey, which celebrates socially engaged poetry and has two first prizes. Isabella lives on the ancestral, traditional and unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples aka Vancouver, Canada."
