Lozan Yamolky is the author of 3 poetry books: I'm No Hero, Counting Waves, published with Silver Bow Publishing & Dreamers Needed, which was self-published through McNally Robinson. Among her many achievements, public speaking events, radio interviews, publications, contests and various awards, Lozan was one of the recipients of the Distinguished Poet Award from Writer International Network Canada in 2018, and her poem, Peace Treaty, won the 1st Prize at the 2019 International Rabindranath Tagore Poetry Contest. The DaCapo Chamber Choir, from Waterloo, Ontario, commissioned her to write about her refugee experience. Her poem, I am Here, is in the production of Following the Moon-road. In May 2020, Following the Moon-road won the Honorable mention for Outstanding Choral Composition from Choral Canada. Lozan Yamolky is of Kurdish descent and was born and raised in Baghdad. She immigrated to Canada in 1995. Due to a traumatic brain injury she sustained in a motor vehicle accident, Lozan withdrew from the poetry community as her injury caused her to lose her ability to write poetry or even read her own for a while. She is recovering well with multiple therapists and is pleased and thankful to be back among her community of poets, authors and audiences who cherish the gift of poetry. Lozan is editing her fourth poetry collection, Hush, Let the Silence Speak.
