Lindsay Mayhew, an English student at Laurentian, has had three of her own poems included in a new poetry book,
Feminine Grit: A Collection of Northern Voices.
The anthology includes poetry, short stories, and visual artwork from 27 local writers and artists across Northern Ontario.
Feminine Grit was edited and published by Emma Daniels (the drag persona of Cory Gaudette, a former Laurentian student).
The book celebrates femininity and encourages people to embrace their feminine qualities.
Mayhew, who has been writing since high school, says she got into slam poetry about two years ago. She then began attending Wordstock Sudbury slam poetry events.
