Angela Szczepaniak

Angela Szczepaniak's writing has appeared in Mad Hatter's Review, Pilot, P-Queue, Phoebe and FOURSQUARE, among other journals and anthologies. She recently participated in a hygiene-themed poetry-art project with LOCCAL, and as a result some of her work can be found on placards in the better public restrooms of Seattle. She studies and teaches at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and lives mainly in Toronto. Szczepaniak's debut poetry collection, Unisex Love Poems, combines fiction, poetry, etiquette advice, slapstick legal antics, and gruesomely illustrated recipes for sweetbreads and love letters into a parody of manners and conduct. An autopsy of language, it makes you savour the visceral, tangible quality of the word.
