Laila Haidarali

Laila was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago and now lives in Toronto. In Trinidad, she and two friends published The Aftermath, an anthology of poetry that received very promising reviews. At present, Laila is a feminist historian who teaches, researches and writes on the histories of marginalized people including women, immigrants and African Americans. While academic teaching and writing engages much of her time, poetry remains her primary form of expression.
