She's been performing spoken word for three years, but wrote her first poem at age five. cynthia dearly loves Toronto, where she lives with her computers, art supplies, ladybug collection, unplugged telephone, and a coffee pot that is too damn small. She likes staring at people, walking in the rain, and is trying to get up the nerve to sing in public... maybe after a few chocolate martinis.
