I have four books of poetry, Sprocket, Undiscovered Country, This Isn't the Apocalypse We Hoped For, and Understories. I've also had six chapbooks published: Behind the Bladed Green, Deerness, Four Neat Holes,  The Picket Fence Diaries, Black As Crow, and Sumas Flats.

Poems in Italian!

A few of my poems were translated into Italian by the poet Sandro Pecchiari and published in Traduzionetradizione, a journal based out of Milan. (Some pictures of the launch can be found here)  Sandro first discovered my work by reading my "We Love Bananas" poem in the Best Canadian Poetry in English (2011) Anthology, when he was visiting Winnipeg. He has translated quite a few of my poems, one of which you can hear him read here.
