Jowita Bydlowska was born in Warsaw, Poland, and moved to the small town of Woodstock, Ontario, Canada, as a teenager. Once she emerged from a long-held culture shock, she eventually learned English well enough to try writing it. Her writing has appeared in numerous publications, magazines, newspapers and online publications, including Salon http://dir.salon.com/topics/jowita_bydlowska/ and Huffington Post. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/jowita-bydlowska . Jowita likes to drink but doesn’t do that any more. She currently lives in Toronto with her son, his father and zero spirits, holy or otherwise.
