Krista Kujat, affectionately known as Rhiah by her close friends, was born and raised in Calgary, Canada. She has pole-danced in New York, salsa-ed in Cuba, and tango-ed in Argentina. She’s also been known to line dance in saloons, thanks to her early immersion at The Calgary Stampede. Rhiah currently dances her way through LA studios in four-inch heels and is rigorously working her way up to doing the splits.

Rhiah’s fifth-generation Canadian mother and German immigrant father taught her how to clean toilet hinges with Q-tips, color passionately inside the lines, and live outside the box (she grew up with gold shag carpet on the walls). She has a wild appreciation for dreaming beyond the status quo, all while soaking up life’s simple pleasures, including fuzzy socks, belly laughs, and breaking the rules.

Rhiah is a winner of the Soul-Making Keats Literary Award and the Independent Spirit Award for film.

Outside of poetry, dancing, and memoir-writing, you may find her shopping for lingerie, drinking in the timelessness of smooth jazz, or soaking up the sun on a hike. She deeply values the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other.
