T K Torme was born in Montreal, Quebec in 1977 and moved to Vancouver, BC in 1992. She received her B.A. in English in 2001. She has been writing since she was a child and has always loved reading and writing poetry. It brings her great joy & relaxation and opens her mind up to a myriad of new possibilities allowing her to expand her thoughts and channel them from her mind onto the page into poetry. T K has Asperger's Syndrome, and she has found poetry helps her to express her feelings with clarity in concise words. Rachel Taylor was born and raised in the B. C. Chilcotin, and moved to Vancouver as a small-town kid with big dreams in 2006. She has been writing for as long as she can remember, and has used haiku to calm anxiety since she was very small. In this book, "In Conversation," Rachel has been particularly touched by the raw energy of Tara's work, and is very proud to be part of this project.
