Poulin says, “We all operate from a place of intersectional identities. I am a Franco-American woman, born and raised in Maine. I continue to reside in Maine, carving out a living as a writer and performer. Being Franco-American is one of the lenses through which I see the world. Without that lens, things would be out of focus. I would be out of focus.”
