Zoe Dickinson
June 17th, 2026

Poet, Zoe Dickinson lives in Victoria where she manages Russell Books and is the Artistic Director emerita of the Planet Earth Poetry Reading Series. This lived experience is reflected in her debut full-length poetry book, Staff Picks for Invertebrates (Guernica $22.95). Dickinson’s nature imagery and bookstore tales creates a world where the divisions between bookstores, books, staff and sentient beings falls away to create, as her publisher blurbs, “the same family” that dwells “in the same fragile, radiant world.” This love letter to bookstores and the Earth mingles humour and compassion. 9781778490286
