Donna Allard – National Beat Poetry Festival 2020 Watch Here

Donna Allard, A.K.A Acadianrose & Cloud-walker, Sojourner Literary Festival Founder,

is an award winning writer and poet. Donna Allard was raised in the fishing village of Richibucto, New Brunswick, Canada, which must surely lend to her hardy spirit and well seasoned pen. Known to be able to ‘swear like a sailor,’ and ‘trot upon the earth shoeless,’ Allard’s soulful eye captures the impact of light on the lens of a camera just as masterfully as she paints with words, often leaving one to feel like they should – “kiss a cod, grab a beer, have sex, and follow up with a cigarette” as stated in a review by Ronda Wicks Eller (Publisher, Canadian Poet, Author, Freelance Artist and Caricaturist.)
