Welcome Poets & Poet Friends
I’d like to thank the City of Calgary for appointing me to serve as Poet Laureate Emeritus of Calgary, 2018-2020. It’s been a dream job and I’m enjoying the ride. If you are interested in getting me involved in something, please contact me and let’s talk.
My Modus Operandi:
To Explore, Discover & Express
To facilitate others to find & claim their own song & to sing it
The inclusion of all voices and ideas
To cut through spiritual materialism
To find an authentic voice
To delve deeper into spirit, and
To listen
Humanity + Love + Inclusion + Authenticity + Truth + Fierceness.
