Her short story collection The Heart is its Own Reason (Insomniac) was positively reviewed by the New York Times and has been optioned for film, and her poetry collection A More Tender Ocean (Coach House) was nominated for the Gerald Lampert Award. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in English at the University of Calgary. In her answers to the Proust Questionnaire, Natalee tells us her greatest accomplishment, her principal fault, her idea of happiness and more.

She will be in Toronto this week for a conversation with Andrew Pyper at Joyland's "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" Fundraiser, which takes place at Supermarket on Thursday, May 19th.
