Alison Watt lives on Protection Island, in British Columbia. Originally a biologist, her work attempts to release the lyricism of science. Her first book, The Last Island - a Naturalist's Sojourn on Triangle Island, won the Edna Staebler Award (a Canadian award for first or second book of Creative Non-fiction). Her book of poetry, Circadia, came out with Pedlar Press in 2005. Alison Watt is also a visual artist and both books are illustrated with her drawings and paintings.
