The Polyglot is proud to launch Haitian-Canadian poet Medgine Mathurin's debut chapbook.

“Medgine Mathurin is a poet who is unafraid to lay her heart bare on the page. Waiting in the Land of the Living pulses with vulnerability, grace and power. Each poem lifts off the page and travels across language, culture, and geography to tell a story of survival, unrelenting faith, and a body held tenderly in the healing light of love.”

—Titilope Sonuga, Edmonton's 9th Poet Laureate
