Renée Francoeur is a Canadian communications professional from St. Marys, Ontario, currently living in Whitehorse, Yukon. She was formally a magazine editor and journalist. She has a background in B2B media, virtual and in-person event planning, social media campaigns, news reporting, and also launched and hosted Blue Line Magazine’s first podcast. By day she writes speeches and provides communications advice to the cabinet office at the Government of Yukon, and by night she bakes, cares for her plant collection and paints mostly cows, lodge pole pines and various human body shapes in motion. She has been published by Fearsome Critters, Bracken Magazine, Three Line Poetry, Standard Criteria, Squawk Back, and the Poetry Institute of Canada and Young Writers. She placed second in the 2017 Poetry Institute of Canada and Young Writers’ Open Ages Poetry & Adult Creative Writing Contest. She was also a recent member of the Ontario Poetry Society. She is inspired by the works of Lucia Berlin, Ivan Coyote, Eden Robinson, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Nelofer Pazira and Remedios Varo. She loves wild buffalo, whooping cranes, old tombstones, sprinkled donuts, community gardening and listening to cello music while writing, especially pieces from Cris Derksen. She is also passionate about sharing skills and fuelling a positive conversation about higher quality end-of-life care and planning. She hopes to become a death doula later in 2022.
