and in private collections in Canada and Europe. Now I have turned to painting, and have some paintings and photographs in galleries in B.C. My last book was a collection of essays culled from many years of teaching writing, from Wilfrid Laurier University Press, called Stranger at the Door. Among my books are five cross-genre fiction/ poetry/ essays from Red Deer Press, starting with The Prowler and ending with Night Train to Nykobing. But I can tell you this: I came into writing through the good graces of certain Canadian big-league writers like Eli Mandel and some high-intensity teachers like the late Eugene Dawson. The problem is that the personality gets in the way. We get too involved in personality cults already, when I think we might do well to focus elsewhere. Biographies of writers are not as interesting as their books.
