Ahlers continues to explore the possibilities of a genre that she invented and, occasionally, masters. When Ahlers gets it right, form and content merge to create a new print medium singularly capable of expressing the fragmented random totality of 21st century life. --Broken Pencil * Broken Pencil *

Author Information

"Sonja Ahlers is a visual artist and poet from Victoria, BC. Her books are hard to classify and can be found in several different sections of the library. 1994's A Wandering Eye was the first of many self-published books that circulated mainly through the underground ""penpal"" network of punk rock and Riot grrrl zines. Ahlers attracted national attention with Temper, Temper, published by Insomniac Press in 1998, followed by Fatal Distraction in 2004. In 2010, Drawn & Quarterly published The Selves. Ahlers' art has been exhibited across Canada, as well as in the United States, Japan, and Australia. She helped create the visual identity of Rookie Mag and from 2011 to 2015 was a frequent contributor to the publication and lead artist/designer of its four anthologies."
