Born and raised on a family ranch in the foothills of Alberta, Doris’ authentic, sparkling poetry has taken her to campfires large and small, to highways, roundabouts and gravel roads throughout the West, and to concert appearances with the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and the Saskatchewan Opera Company.
