Catherine Mercier

Originally from Lanaudière, Catherine has lived near the Saguenay Fjord since the summer of 2020. She holds a master’s degree in literary studies from Laval University. As part of her research-creation work, she has listened closely to the voices of others and written through a process of cross-pollination. She is interested in relational and collaborative practices in literature, as well as field-based writing. She contributes to the zines of the Le lac a calé collective and has published texts in the journals Estuaire, Mœbius, Tristesse, and Nyx. Over the years, she has worked as a bookseller, baker, market gardener, and bicycle traveler.
