Sonja Skarstedt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sonja Skarstedt (1960–2009) was a Canadian poet, short story, playwright writer, painter and illustrator. Born in Montreal, Quebec, she was the founder and former editor of the literary magazine Zymergy, 1987-1991, and founder of Empyreal Press, 1990. She graduated from McGill University with a BA in English Literature in 1982. She was married to the artist Geof Isherwood.
In 2008, Skarstedt discovered the poetic art of moviemaking and has since added over thirty short productions — many of which find their inspiration within the urban auspices of Montreal, Quebec — to YouTube's Skarwood Channel.
On July 31, 2009, Skarstedt lost her battle with ovarian cancer, 26 months after diagnosis and treatments.
