Madeleine Chan is a queer, non-binary, mixed race, white-passing, writer settled on the stolen lands of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples. They love exploring the intricacies of identity, specifically the messy complexities of the in-between and ‘other’ in relation to their own hybrid belongings. They like that little guttural “oh” feeling when they read something that resonates with them. They also enjoy the smell of tomato plants, the pursuit of poignant poetry and prose, and alliteration.
