Stephanie Bolster (born 1969)[1] is a Canadian poet and professor of creative writing at Concordia University, Montreal.[2]
She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (1991) and a Master of Fine Arts (1994) from the University of British Columbia.[3][4] Her first book, White Stone: The Alice Poems, won the Governor General's Award for poetry in 1998. Bolster's current project, "Long Exposure", is a book-length poem that takes as its starting point Robert Polidori's post-disaster photographs of New Orleans and Chernobyl.[5]
In 2004, Bolster edited and published The Ishtar Gate, featuring the poetry of Dutch-Canadian poet Diana Brebner.[6] Bolster also acknowledged the support of Hendrika Ruger in previously publishing Brebner's work in years prior.[7]
