Luke Hathaway is a poet, librettist/lyricist, and performer, who makes his home in Kjipuktuk/Halifax. He collaborates with artists and ensembles near and far in the work of collective storytelling, bringing mythopoeic word-worlds to page, screen, and stage. He is particularly passionate about telling the trans and queer stories that are close to his heart. Luke is the author of four books of poems: the most recent — The Affirmations — was recognized in The Times as a best book of the year. He has also had his work published in chapbook form by London’s Baseline Press. In 2024, he has worked on an extended-reality opera, a vaudeville-inspired work of music theatre, and an operatic ghost story. With his dear friend Daniel Cabena, he co-directs ANIMA, an evolving ensemble that brings old works to life in new ways. Daniel is a co-creator of the audio book for Luke’s collection The Affirmations.
