Imagination * Passion * Creative Flair

Carolyn Pogue is a Canadian author. She lives in Sombe K’e/Yellowknife, on the north shore of Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories. Sombe K’e is in Chief Drygeese territory, the traditional land of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation and respects the histories and cultures of the North Slave Métis, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit in the community.

Carolyn’s works include books, videos and plays for children, adults, teens, puppets (yes) and educators. She has also contributed to anthologies and given workshops. Her columns appeared in The United Church Observer back in the olden days, and her blogs in Broadview magazine.

In collaboration with Loretta Biasutti and The Calgary Rolling Crones, Carolyn wrote two musical plays, Patriarchy on Trial (2025) and The Cock and the Girl who Forgot: a Cautionary Tale (2026).

Carolyn has travelled to many countries around the world and is inspired by peacemakers and justice-seekers of all ages. She has lived in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta. She lived in Sombe K’e/Yellowknife from 1970 to 1986. In 2026 she returned there permanently to build a tiny home in the Old Town, Latham Island.

She is happiest in a kayak, in a tent or with a child or grandchild.
