Member Review
Although I have also been a journalist and a prose writer, as a poet, which is my true vocation, my sense was that poets, while feeling a strong alliance with other poets, also need to join the general community of writers. The Writers’ Union of Canada has given me this support.

Orysia Dawydiak
Orysia is the firstborn child of Ukrainian immigrants. She learned to speak English (and several other languages for a short time) while playing with the children of other European immigrants in Sudbury, Ontario. She began her first novel about horses at age nine but ended up publishing a different one in 2009. Orysia graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a degree in Zoology, and from Kansas State University in Agricultural Sciences. She has been a sheep farmer and breeder of Akbash Dogs who guard sheep. She currently resides on a Prince Edward Island farm with one niece, one Akbash Dog and one three-legged cat.
