Originally from Northeastern Ontario where she first established herself as a poet, Monique Chénier now writes full time in Peterborough, where she’s lived for over three years.
During her 30 plus years as an author, she has also written fiction, creative non-fiction, and non-fiction.
Whether poetry or prose, her writing often offers a bitter-sweet perspective in which both loss and joy have equal sway.
Before she began writing full-time in the fall of 2024, she ran a wellness business which offered hypnotherapy sessions, yoga classes, and writing workshops. Before that, she taught high school English and Creative Writing for 25 years.
