i started writing poetry in about grade 3. granted, i won't put any of that writing up here. but on this page are selections from 3 of the books i've published in, as well as some new work that i've completed since those collections. i have also been published in various magazines, and if you're interested in which ones, you can contact me.

the first, a collection of short stories titled "the secret heart", published by HMS Press in london, ontario was based on prose written in 1995.

the second, a large collection of poems from 1987 to 1998, is titled "bloodsexwaterwind". self-published, small runs. (i learned my lesson from "the secret heart")

the third, a collection of poems from 1998 to 2000, called "living in epiphany", includes a cycle of poems called "the jonathan cycle". again, self-published, small runs.

you can read selected poems by following the links below. if you're interested in purchasing one of these collections, or publishing any of the poems on this site, please contact me at riverchild@execulink.com or the 'contact' button on the left hand side of the page.
