Jim Johnstone and Cactus Press have just released my latest chapbook. It's called "Customs" and it has it's providence in the story of Louis Sam, a Sto:lo boy who was lynched in Sumas in 1884.
A featured reading at Tarbell's in Cumberland. 20-30 mins after an open mic. I'll be reading mostly new work from the forthcoming (spring 2011) book of poems.
The following is an excerpt of the lecture I'll be giving next week at the 2009 Literatures of the West Coast Graduate Conference at the University of the Victoria. The working title is "Reservations: Identity and Poetic Form" and it mostly tells the story of how I came to think of poetic form as being both customs agent and traveller, local and global.
