Sonja Greckol is grateful for subways and bike lanes wherever. She published three poetry books No Line In Time (2018) Skein of Days (2014) and Gravity Matters (2008). Her long poem “No Line In Time” won the 2017 Briarpatch Writing In the Margins Poetry Contest. She edits poetry for Women and Environments International. The re-election of Mike Harris propelled her into poetry; the election of Doug Ford propels her deeper into local activism with an eye to both the stars and the earth.
