Debbie Okun Hill

4.3/5 ( ratings)
Debbie Okun Hill has been writing for over 35 years. She started her career as a journalist for a community newspaper in rural Manitoba then worked as a public relations specialist for The Winnipeg Art Gallery, Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and Fanshawe College in London, Ontario before becoming a freelance writer in the early 1990s.

Today, she is a Canadian poet/blogger: a member of the League of Canadian Poets, the Writers' Union of Canada and the Canadian Authors Association, past president of The Ontario Poetry Society and the recipient of two Ontario Arts Council Writers' Reserve grants. Since 2003, over 430 of her poems have been published in over 155 different publications/websites including Descant, Existere, Juniper, The Literary Review of Canada, Vallum, The Windsor Review, and Other Voices in Canada plus LUMMOX, Mobius, Phati'tude, Philadelphia Poets, Still Point Arts Quarterly, Tamaracks, THEMA, and The Binnacle in the US.

She has read her work in four different provinces and at various events including the Fringe Stage of the 2011 Eden Mills Writers’ Festival, the 2012 PoeTrain Express/Spring Pulse Poetry Festival in Cobalt, the 2015 Edmonton Poetry Festival, the 2015 Niagara Literary Arts Festival, the 2017 ArtBar Reading series in Toronto, and on the 2015 Great Canadian PoeTrain Tour.

She is one of five Canadian poets featured in the anthology EnCompass I . TARNISHED TROPHIES is her first book by a trade publisher.

In 2015, Beret Days Press launched MINDSHADOWS, a Canadian poetry anthology she compiled and edited for 81 contributing members of The Ontario Poetry Society.

In 2017, Big Pond Rumours Press released DRAWING FROM EXPERIENCE, a 15-poem chapbook focusing on ekphrastic and art-themed poetry. This manuscript placed third in the press's 2017 Chapbook Contest.

Her latest book CHALK DUST CLOUDS, first place winner in The Ontario Poetry Society's Golden Grassroots Poetry Chapbook Award, was recently published by Beret Days Press.

Final revisions to her next full poetry manuscript are now complete and a publisher is being sought.
