Poetry, artwork, and criticism have appeared in various places, online and off. A second poetry manuscript is forthcoming in 2014. Reimer recently attended the In(ter)ventions Residency at the Banff Centre. She currently lives in Calgary, where she is a director of the Chris Reimer Legacy Fund Society. Visit reimerwrites.com.
