Lori Fox
Lori Fox is a queer, non-binary working-class writer and journalist. Their work, which focuses on issues of class, gender, sexuality, the environment, and the messy places these things intersect, has appeared with The Guardian, Vice, and the Globe and Mail, among many other outlets. They are currently working on their MFA in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia through the optional-residency program. When they aren’t writing, they’re probably fishing or gardening, because self-sufficiency is both an expression of joy and a form of anti-capitalist rebellion. This Has Always Been a War is their first book.
