Jaye simpson (stylized in all lowercase) is an Oji-Cree-Saulteaux indigiqueer writer, poet, activist, and drag queen.[1]
Personal life
[edit]Simpson resides in Vancouver, Canada, on the territories of the Musqueam, Tsleil-waututh, and Squamish,[2][3] and they write their name, pronouns, and the word "i" in lowercase letters as a stylistic choice to emulate a softness they feel society does not provide to them regularly.[4]
Career
[edit]Simpson is most noted as a shortlisted finalist for the Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ Canadian writers in 2021[5] with the publication of their debut poetry collection it was never going to be okay by Nightwood Editions in 2020.[6] In addition to the Dayne Ogilvie Prize, the book was the winner in the poetry category for the 2021 Indigenous Voices Awards.[7] Their work is published in a variety of magazines, another notable publication of theirs being their piece all this out of spite published in St@nza in the summer 2021 issue.[8] Simpson's story "The Ark of the Turtle's Back" was published in Love After the End,[9] an anthology collection edited by Joshua Whitehead.
Simpson writes in both English and the Swampy Cree dialect. Their subjects include indigeneity, queerness, and their experience in the child welfare system.[10]
