About the author:

Yin Xzi Ho (何吟曦) is an author and artist with a focus on land-based practices and knowledge. Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and now based in Squamish, Canada, her work is inspired by the places she has been. Yin Xzi uses words, illustration, and animation as a way to convey experiences and highlight moments of tenderness. When she is writing live typewriter poetry for friends and strangers she tries to render the magic that often goes unseen from our smallest and most significant moments of everyday life in order to touch the hearts of the people around her.

When she’s not creating, you can usually find her in a garden, climbing, dancing, or blowing kisses to beautiful things. Yin Xzi also has a penchant for remembering dreams and recording good alliterations. You can find her online at @yinxzi on Instagram or at yinxzi.com.
