Over the past fifteen years, Alison McCreesh has extensively travelled around the Arctic and sub-Arctic and contemporary day-to-day life in the North is a theme that carries through her creative work. Alison currently lives in Yellowknife where she creates comics and illustrations surrounded by her two dogs and three small children. Alison’s past books include the award-winning graphic novel Ramshackle: A Yellowknife Story, as well as the travelogue Norths, Two Suitcases and a Stroller around the Circumpolar World . Her newest graphic novel is Degrees of Separation: A Decade North of 60.

Degrees of Separation is described as “an intimate and understated glimpse of the North as Alison experienced it through a combination of autobiographical stories, drawings and sketches. From frigid days spent killing time while stranded in the High Arctic, to the challenges of raising a baby in a small shack with no running water, it is one young woman’s personal experience of both passing through and of setting down roots.” And “while the backdrop may seem foreign to many, this collection is also a universal exploration of those transformative years from young-adulthood to motherhood. It’s a graphic novel navigating themes of connection and disconnect, between the north and the south, but also between different norths and between our different selves.”
