Shauntay Grant is a Nova Scotian writer, spoken word performer, broadcast journalist and musician. She is Halifax's third Poet Laureate (2009/10), and has shared her vibrant blend of poetry and music internationally at festivals and events. Shauntay regularly conducts arts workshops for youth and adults. Her original works have been broadcast nationally on CBC Radio, CBC Television and Vision Television. Her first children's book, dubbed Up Home, was released in June 2008 (Nimbus Publishing) and won her a 2009 Atlantic Book Award for Best Atlantic Published Book. Up Home is also shortlisted for the 2010 Hackmatack Children's Choice Book Awards. Shauntay hosted the 2009 CBC National Poetry Face-Off. She is the host of All The Best, a music program that airs weekly on CBC Radio One in the Maritimes. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

helloooo!
i knew you were a musician/poet, but i'd never gotten to hear your work. i'm glad you added me so i could. it's great - creeps in all warm through dilated pores and sits in quite comfortably under the skin.
here's to hoping we get to meet in person someday...
take care, mel.

All of the tracks you posted are so beautiful and inspiring, great choices! Wayback Playback really took me back, and the timing of the story in Up Home really made me imagine Preston through your eyes. Playground just makes me want red, nuff said :)

Thank you, listening to your art made my day.
Blessings,
