Jesse Ruddock is author of the novel Shot-Blue. The New York Times says, "Ruddock writes moments of startling intimacy." The National Post says, "Ruddock is a poet (among other things) and we can call her debut a novel or we can call it what it is: poetry." Her writing and photographs have appeared in the New Yorker.com, N+1, BOMB, Music & Literature, and VICE, among other places. She is based in Montreal.
