if it's words you're after...




Sometimes it is hard to know what to do with your words. The page has seen enough of them. Your mouth is overfull. You speak to rid yourself of them, but they eventually find their way back to you a little the worse for wear. And so on a cold Canadian winter's morning in November 2004 you drive your van through the snow past the frozen wheatfields. You get out under the frosted trees and see your breath freeze in front of you confirming that you are still alive. As you step up on the porch the door opens in front of you and inside you see the microphone on its stand looking as lonely as a poet. Perhaps you can deliver your words there, lock them away forever.


if it's words you're after... contains a selection of poems from two collections Digging My Own Grave and A Man in Diapers.

It was recorded by Shawn Tester at Middle Earth Recording Studio, MB, Canada. Photographs and layout by Anthony Kost.
