Emma Hooper is the author of internationally best-selling and award-winning novels Etta and Otto and Russell and James, Our Homesick Songs, and We Should Not Be Afraid of the Sky. Holding a PhD in music-literary studies, she has also published research in the fields of intermediality, gender studies, popular music and retro-futurism. As a musician she has worked with many clients and collaborators including Peter Gabriel, Newton Faulkner, the Heavy, and her own projects Red Carousel and Waitress for the Bees, which once earned her a Finnish Cultural Knighthood. Although she lives in the UK, Hooper comes home to Canada as often as she can and recently broke her toe in an over-zealous cross-country skiing incident.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta District 6, and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
