Dr. Duru Gungor is a professor of English and liberal arts in London, Canada. This, of course, is the cunning disguise of a nocturnal beast against her natural predators. Left at peace, she dabbles in writing, aikido, and ink wash painting. Her artwork is published in the Glenwillow Farm visual art project at BlankSpace Publications (Canada), while her recent short stories appear in Spadina Literary Review (Canada) and Leviathan (the U.S.).
