Ris V. Rose is a 23-year-old poet, fiction writer, and editor in Ontario, Canada. She has an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics and Psychology from the University of Toronto and is pursuing a Master of Health Science in Speech-Language Pathology. Her journey with words began with reading children's books about magic and exploration and continues in her adult life with writing about the very same things: magic and the exploration of human emotion. She uses poetry to come to terms with how she feels and uses fiction to traverse the deepest corners of her inner world of imagination. She is a Writer in Residence for CulturallyArts.com and has had several poems published with The Soap Box Press.
