Sonja Ahlers is a visual artist and poet based in Victoria, on the unceded territories of the l蓹k虛 史蓹艐蓹n (Lekwungen) speaking peoples, now known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.
Since the early 90s, Ahlers has worked primarily in book and book-adjacent formats, in a medium that she calls visual poetry. She is the author of Temper, Temper and Fatal Distraction (Insomniac Press, 1998 and 2004), and The Selves (Drawn & Quarterly, 2010), and was a key contributor to Rookie Mag from 2011 to 2015.
