Alisha Dukelow is interested in the relationship between innovative modern and contemporary literature, the mind/body, time, and the environment. Her dissertation project, which was awarded a Doctoral Fellowship from The Social Science & Humanities Research Council of Canada, focuses on literary subversions of almanacs and weather and sky forecasting tropes (from Djuna Barnes’s Ladies Almanack to Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of the Dead, Lisa Robertson’s The Weather, and Dionne Brand’s The Blue Clerk). Alisha’s creative writing has received support from The Canada Council for the Arts and can be found in journals such as The Malahat Review, PRISM international, and Room. Pareidolia (2020), her chapbook of poetry, was published by Anstruther Press. Modernist Affect Grid (2023), her book of poetic essays about the cybernetically-inspired architecture and emotion theory of the year 1962, is available through Anteism.
