After growing up in an artsy household in Montreal, I ran away to the East Coast to join an oil company.

I’ve since lived and worked in New Brunswick, Alberta, and Ontario, and have written two novels, Sons and Fathers and The Art of Being Lewis, and the award-winning poetry collection Catullus’s Soldiers.

My poems and essays have appeared in various Canadian journals and newspapers, including Literary Review of Canada, The Antigonish Review, The Globe and Mail, and Telegraph-Journal.

I live in Ottawa with my wife Kara and our lovely, rambunctious children.
