About the Author
IF THE POET is a two-time Canadian National Slam Poetry Champion and the subject of the CBC documentary IF THE POET, which chronicles his journey into the world of slam poetry beginning at age fifty.
His work channels the wisdom of Spirit, the rage of the wounded and the yearning that resides in every human heart. As he puts it, Every poem I write is a shout-out to the sacredness of our days, a three-chord party jam, and a tribute to the triumph of love over fear.
He and his partner divide their time between Montreal and a cabin in northern Ontario.
Many of his poems have been adapted into video poems and are available on YouTube. More can be found at ifthepoet.com.
