JESSICA MOORE is an author and translator. Her most recent book, *The Whole Singing Ocean* (Nightwood 2020) blends long poem, investigation, and family history in an exploration of the affair of the École en bateau. Jessica's first book, *Everything, now* (Brick Books 2012), has been called “a powerful journey through love and loss – serving, ultimately, to unsettle any notion of a boundary between them.” Everything, now is also partly a conversation with her translation of Turkana Boy (Talonbooks 2012), a poetic novel by Jean-François Beauchemin, for which she won a PEN America Translation Award. *Mend the Living*, Jessica’s translation of Réparer les vivants by French author Maylis de Kerangal, was nominated for the 2016 Man Booker International Prize and won the UK's Wellcome Prize in 2017. Jessica is the former VP for Ontario for the Literary Translators’ Association of Canada, a past BILTC (Banff International Literary Translation Centre) program participant, BILTC invited author, Lannan writer-in-residence, and has appeared at Harbourfront's International Festival of Authors and in France at the literary translation festival VO/VF. She lives in Toronto.
