I enjoy engaging in a variety of literary genres (poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, memoir, playwriting, screen writing, photography), oftentimes merging the genres into hybrid forms. Memoir has been my choice medium in recent years and was in turn my thesis for my MFA at UBC. Now, I have found myself squarely in the middle of all of the aforementioned forms. I'm a graduate of the MFA Program in Creative Writing at UBC (2005) and a recipient of the Earl Birney Scholarship. In 2006, I was named Lichen Magazine's Tracking a Serial Poet, and more recently I have won the Bliss Carman Poetry Award through Prairie Fire Magazine (2006). I am currently revising my short-listed entry in the 29th annual 3-Day Novel Contest into a play in five acts, in addition to completing a collection of personal essays and a poetry manuscript.

Poetry has been my obsession for a number of years. As I've honed my skills as a poet I have enjoyed learning in writers' groups, from numerous mentors along the way as well as during my two years of poetic indulgence at U.B.C. where I obtained an M.F.A. in Creative Writing in 2000. My joint focus there was non-fiction. I also worked for some time as a freelance writer, my main subject area was health and medical writing. I love to give readings from my poetry and to connect with the audience and their responses. I have taught poetry courses through Langara College's continuing studies programme, teaching being another passion and also a great learning experience for me as it allows me to enter another person's perspective as we explore their writing.

I am an award-winning poet, journalist and author. I have supported myself as a professional writer since 1978, authoring five books (nonfiction and poetry) and over 2,000 articles, poems and short stories appearing in newspapers and magazines around the world. I also produce my own zines and my hand-built, trash-based book-art objects under my imprint of Pig Squash Press. Books made from roofing tarpaper, tree bark, paper bags. I organize many poetry and art happenings where I live, from Nanaimo's first "Poem Gallery" in a vacant storefront, to "Poets in the Underpass" where Nanaimo's homeless sleep, to the "Urban Eyes Art Exhibition" featuring 52 artists and architects on the theme of urban development. Basically, wherever I see a need--a poverty of collective vision and imagination--I try to address it publicly and locally through poetry and art. I also give talks and workshops on poetry, hand-built books, how to make a living as a writer, unlocking writer's block, Tai Chi as a path to writing, and more. I can be booked for public readings and talks through the League of Canadian Poets or The Writers' Union of Canada. (Contact me first.)

A freelance writer, I have written creative advertising copy for radio; informative newsletters for a non-profit society; speeches for a Member of the BC Legislature; and many successful business proposals. I am a natural proofreader and editor, as a result of a lifetime of reading. I enjoy working alone or as an active part of a team. My business writing style is crisp, clear and smooth, and my fiction and other writing emerges in an honest and amusing way that people can relate to. I admire the laugh-out-loud writing style of American humourist Dave Barry, and aspire to the wry wit of Canadian essayist Arthur Black.

My writing career started in my teens, when I wrote novelettes of my dreams and hopes. Always a journal writer and always interested in writing, I joined a writer's circle in 2006 where I was encouraged to pursue a life-long dream of taking my interest more seriously. Presently I am working on a fantasy piece for adults that marries the ideas of conservation of the planet and the soul.
Publications	Lines on the 49th Parallel (anthology of poems and short stories, Circle 49 Publications, 2006) co-written with five others. The Pottery Class: Life Lessons in the Studio (creative non-fiction, Circle 49 Publications, 2008); lifestyle learning and art instruction.
