Welcome

I'm a poet and physics teacher living on the tradition territory of the Lheidli T'enneh in Prince George, BC. 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. My poems have also been published in a variety of journals, anthologies, and videopoems, and a selection have been translated into Italian and Spanish.

Poetry Kitchen Party

The poetry kitchen party is a concept I borrowed from Canadian east coast musicians. Instead of reading to 10-15 people in a noisy coffee shop, why not in someone's home? I tried it out in Vancouver & Nanaimo, and everyone enjoyed the setup: poets could read and be listened to, listeners could ask questions and actively engage with the poems. So on May 31st, I tried it out in Prince George at Tanja & Andy's, my friend's place in Shelley. Taylor & I read and it was a wonderful evening.
