I am a Canadian artist and writer. My third full collection of poetry CROW CITY BLEEDING has been published by Cajun Mutt Press. Poems explore working class concerns, neurodivergence, urban sprawl vs. Nature.
One of the poems looking back on factory days. Work is work, yeah, but good money, good hours, good people, good memories.

It would be a lot like Russia invading the Ukraine. Look at how well that's gone. I appreciate you putting your feelings out there.

If America acts like Russia to us, we'll act like the Ukraine to it. How divorced from reality some peoples' leaders are.

When I was a kid and we were renting Red Dawn, we read into it -- we saw the American characters as Canadian and we saw the Russian characters as Americans.

One of my poems that will always remain topical depending how one reads it. Some would do well not to ignore it.

I'm looking forward to selling and signing some of my books, and selling some art too. This looks to be the biggest yet!

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.
