Joanne Arnott

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joanne Arnott (born December 16, 1960) is a Canadian Métis writer.

Arnott was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba

Arnott's works are intimate with an activist slant, exploring the issues faced by a mixed-race girl and woman in poverty, the family, danger, love and childbirth. She writes about these topics from personal experience, as a Métis and a mother of six.

She received the Gerald Lampert Award for her 1991 collection of poetry Wiles of Girlhood.

Arnott lives in British Columbia with her family.
