Michael LeClair Sr.

Middle-aged proud Grand-Father, grew up in South Woodside, Dartmouth. My interests are reading, writing, history, social awareness, music, guitar and I occasionally dabble in painting/drawing. I am a happily married man, three children and SIX grandchildren with a seventh on the way! I enjoy classic films, music of all genres (literally from Rap to Bach). I have an endless curiosity regarding physics, psychics, and anything science. I’ve been writing as a hobby since I was a child. I tend toward the eclectic, the eccentric and most everything between the two.

Fave quotes :

“Do you not see how a world of pain and sorrow is necessary to school an intelligence and make it a soul?” – John Keats

“People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion .” – Albert Einstein

Bronwyn Lee

Elle Lee

Pronouns: they/them. I’m a young poet who’s been writing on and off for the past 10 years. I mainly deal in Spoken Word, but range into various types of poems and writing styles, whatever seems to fit what I’m feeling at the time. I was born in BC, have lived in NB, and moved to Halifax 6 years ago. I suffer from BPD, ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. I identify as a Non-Binary Pansexual. With that in mind, my poems deal in some heavy themes of mental illness, and what it’s like to be a LGBTQA+ person raised to be straight. I have no formal training on Poetry or writing, but hopefully I can still inspire. Lastly, please understand that while my Poems can be strongly worded, just know that I use writing as an outlet, and have sought out help. I just write when I have something on my mind, and it is my pure raw emotion attached, I don’t edit my words once they’re written, I just check for spelling mistakes. I hope I can create something worth your time. Thanks for reading
