When I was reading them I could actually invision myself there. He writes beautifully. Plus he is Canadian. Born and raised in Cape Breton NS. He now lives in Halifax, NS. He has published eight books of poetry. Two of his books (Wolf Ladder, 1991, and Stations of the Left Hand, 1994) were short-listed for the Governor General's Award for Poetry. In 1999 he won the Canadian Literary Award for Poetry. Published and reviewed internationally, his work has been translated into Czechoslovakian, Portuguese, and Spanish.… (más)
