Lizzie Derksen is a writer from Treaty 6 Territory. Dylan Rhys Howard (2021) has described her hair as “angelic”, Tomáš Andel (2021) has described her vibe as “your favourite brand of import cookies”, and Garth Greenwell (2020) has described her sentences as “the actual drug I want”.

Lizzie writes poems about Aunt Rachel, Rachel’s wife Susan, and their niece Lucy. She writes prose about the priest class, the worker class, her husband’s girlfriends, and her childhood spent in a religious community in southern Saskatchewan. In her spare time, she makes movies and refuses to work with AI.
