I am a poet who enjoys people watching.
My fascination with wildlife and the environmental effects upon people feeds my inspiration. What I draw from 20C and 19C architecture through photography often carries my imagination to the limit .
I find the depth of poems and the story embedded within defines the poet.
My favorite poets, Milosz, Lowell, Ginsburg, Hughes and Duffy all lend to the moment, whereas Dylan and Young provide me with an escape while I traverse the Canadian back roads.
A one time resident of Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Wolfville, CFB Gagetown and Stockport, UK, I have finally settled in the Georgian Bay region; and it has generated a new found fascination with the extent the environment suffers during the ever changing delight of the seasons.
