who is she?
My name is Chantal Kyplain. I'm a sober Métis mother, published poet, and community storyteller based in Saskatoon, SK with family roots in Île-à-la-Crosse. I write to reclaim voice, to make sense of grief, and to hold space for others walking through their own healing.
MetaphorGirl is more than a name — it’s my heartwork. It's how I turn survival into story. It's where I honour the sacredness of Indigenous womanhood, the ache of motherhood, and the language of the unsaid.
In 2024, I self-published Fragments of Her, a poetry collection about love, loss, and finding strength through rupture. I've since shared my work at open mics, community gatherings, and cultural events — always bringing my whole self to the page and the mic.
I do this work to remind us that our stories matter — especially the ones we were told to silence.
