I am a Canadian artist and writer. I am the past recipient of the Ted Plantos Memorial Award for Poetry, 2021. LEPER MOSH is my second book of poetry. If you like Stephen Crane, Carl Sandburg, E. J. Pratt, and films like River's Edge you'll like it.

There are anti-Trump protests ongoing in all fifty states and most major democracies worldwide. Yet the corporate press here pretends nothing is happening. Last warning for those who want to sit at the feet of dictators: Ignore We the People at your own peril. We rise.

I wrote this about forest fires in British Columbia, and how their effects crossed provinces and borders. It affected air quality as far as Ontario. So much destruction and loss! Again :( #forestfire #forestfires #britishcolumbia #firefighter #survival #CanLit #poetry youtu.be/s8GQkp4Jy2Y?...

Fans of Gregory Corso, and of the Beat generation of poets, really must check out this amazing book from Roadside Press! The editors did a fantastic job. #gregorycorso #beatpoetry #beatpoets #beatgeneration #americanliterature #americanpoetry #roadsidepress
