To the web page of me, Frances Boyle. I'm an award-winning writer of poetry and fiction based in Ottawa, Ontario.

​

 

My newest poetry collection, Openwork and Limestone, is now available from your local indie bookstore, or direct from Frontenac House Press!

​

My debut novel, Skin Hunger, will be out in spring 2024. Pre-order now!

 

Seeking Shade, my 2020 short story collection, from The Porcupines Quill won the Miramichi Reader Very Best! Award, and was a finalist for the Danuta Gleed Award and the ReLit Award.

 

My second poetry collection, This White Nest, from Quattro Books came out late in 2019. 

​

My novella, Tower, from Fish Gotta Swim Editions, was published in 2018.

 

All of my books have received some (very positive) reviews and appeared on lists of favourites - see the Media page.

 

I've also published another full-length collection of poetry, as well as several chapbooks and many poems and stories in magazines and anthologies.
