Wayne Clifford is the author of nineteen books of poetry. His most recent collections are Flying the Truck (New Brunswick Museum), Theseus (Book*hug), and four volumes of The Exile's Papers (Porcupine's Quill Press). Clifford has published poems in an incredibly broad range of journals—from Canadian Forum to avant-garde magazines like bill bissett’s Blewointment, bpNichol’s ganglia, and Sheila Watson’s White Pelican. He lives in Halifax where the benign seclusion of obscurity is conducive to sonneteering.
