Sapha Burnell – UsurperKings
âSapha is like a young Wolfgang Pauli, in every laboratory he went, there was a little explosion.â Cyberpunk/magic realism author and poet Sapha Burnellâs works (Usurper Kings, Son of Abel & Neon Lieben) were dubbed âjaw-droppingly beautifulâ, âan insane, diabolical, kick-ass rollercoasterâ and âhauntingly beautifulâ. Literary critic Ella J said of Neon Lieben, âI never thought a science fiction story could be so beautifulâ. Sapha writes on the interlock between mysticism, mythology and science with a pugilistâs eye. The product of Vancouverâs multiculturalism, Sapha steeped in divergent cultures, religious experiences and gender roles, until battling with traditional opinions became a daily war. On hiatus from the written word, she volunteered in West Africa, and returned to Canada with an international perspective. As an editor & literary theorist, Saphaâs work focuses on comparative mythology & the ethics of futurism. On Twitch, Sapha critiques prose twice a week, and writes online once. A member of The Writers Union of Canada, Sapha lives in BC with their spouse and speaks on gender roles, cyberpunk, martial arts, comparative mythology, wine education and religion, when the #hallowesfam isnât chatting it up on discord or twitch.
