Melissa Thorne
Melissa Thorne (she/her) is an emerging poet who resides in Cobourg, Ontario, nestled within the ancestral lands of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Nations. She has participated in various local poetry readings and publications. She shares her home with her husband, two young sons, and Irish Wolfhound, Walter. Though initially reluctant, Melissa has assumed the role of Walter's social media manager after he inadvertently went viral. You can catch glimpses of Walter's adventures on Instagram (@walterthewolfie) as his account flourishes far beyond Melissa's own poetry page.
