Tess Liem lives in Montreal, or Tiotia:ke, the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka people. Her first chapbook, Tell everybody I say hi, was published by Anstruther Press in February 2017. She won The Malahat Review‘s Constance Rooke Creative Nonfiction Prize in 2015, and her writing appears in The Puritan, Room magazine, The Walrus, and elsewhere.

"Liem’s poems are graceful and captivating and she is not afraid to show the dirt, stains, and bugs that are left behind when a body dies. Instead of hiding behind clichés of grief, Liem finds a way to unearth what was never buried to give some of those without an obituary a place to call home." – Amy LeBlanc, Plenitude Magazine
