Danielle LaFrance is a poet and information malprofessional. Their commitments are anchored to liberation, resistance, and pleasure.

LaFrance is the author of species branding (Capilano University Editions, 2010), Friendly + Fire (Talonbooks, 2016), JUST LIKE I LIKE IT (Talonbooks, 2019), and #postdildo (Talonbooks, 2022); chapbooks include Tentacle Rasa (Asterion Books, 2021) and pink slip (Standard Ink & Copy, 2013).

Their new book Verbal Violence (Talonbooks, 2026) is a scrolling indictment of the professional managerial class, a class that serves colonial capitalist logic while claiming moral superiority.

With Josh Rose, they collaborate on the ad infinitum intertextual sound project Yes, Sydo. Using Homer’s epic Odyssey to create something anew with and against and without the canon, they explore themes of pain, grief, hospitality, political listening, and sonic and poetic possible world building.

They reside as a guest on still occupied and still unceded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ lands.
