About the Book

This little book of poems and stories is about about some of the places I've lived as a little boy in Canada's North , a little fishing community called Square Islands, that I have so many fond memories of. Other poems are about events like Cains Quest; an endurance snowmobile race across Labrador's interior, and other poems about love . My mom loved poetry and so did my dad who wrote a book of poems himself and was very good at reciting poems. As a boy I loved to recite Robert w Service who was my favourite poet . I try to write poems that people can relate to and that have a story to tell and has meaning, I hope you enjoy my little stories and poetry.


About the Author

I grew up in a little fishing community in the summer months called Square Islands Labrador, in Canada's North Atlantic. When September rolled around we moved back inland 13 miles to a little place called Charlottetown. When there was a tree line and the weather conditions weren't as harsh as the barren coastline where Squares Islands was situated. I grew up fishing for cod as a boy and young man and in my early twenties I went to flying school and became a commercial pilot but l always had a love for poetry.
