About THE HOUSE YOU WERE BORN IN:
Tanya Standish McIntyre’s words breathe life, capturing both the fear and the beauty of growing up in a rural working-class community, anchored by the magical bond between a young girl and her grandfather.
A story told in a collage of poems, painting a picture of an ancestral farm and those who pass through it. A book with a sweeping narrative power that will stay with you long after the last line.
“Each trenchant, graceful poem illuminates a time and a place, as though a light shone from behind memory.” – Mark Abley, author of The Tongues of Earth

Author Bio:
Tanya Standish McIntyre is a Canadian poet and visual artist.
Her voice is vividly imagistic and intensely melodic, characterized by an intimacy with the natural world as inseparable from human experience, and a rare capacity for empathy and beauty.
Winner of the Carmen Ziolkowsky Poetry Contest in 2022, as well as the Dr. William Henry Drummond Prize, her poems appear in numerous anthologies and journals across North America.
Melding her literary work with studies as a “biography facilitator”, she is driven by the purpose of using her art to engage the reader’s own story, inviting conversation, community, and collaborations.
