Emilie Moorhouse is a Canadian writer, translator, and environmentalist. Raised in a French-speaking household in Toronto, she earned an MFA from the University of British Columbia. She was actively involved in the Canadian climate change movement for over a decade, an experience that continues to inform her current work as a screenwriter for an environmentally themed television show. Moorhouse is best known for her English translation of Emerald Wounds: Selected Poems by Joyce Mansour, published in 2023, and which was longlisted for the 2024 Griffin Poetry Prize and praised for capturing Mansour’s uncompromising exploration of desire, death, and identity. Her second book of translations will focus on Mansour's works of prose, and will be published by Invisible Books in fall 2026.
