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

​

 

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 third poety collection, Openwork and Limestone will be published by Frontenac House Press in Fall 2022!

​

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.
