David Du

Writing poems is my hobby. Before I came to Canada, I wrote Chinese and Japanese poetry. When I arrived in Halifax, I started writing English poems, and I have written over 100. Perhaps you wonder why I like writing English poems. A story that happened in Halifax caused me think about writing English poems.

One day when I finished my shift, on way home, I saw a lot of people gathering at a bus stop. I heard noise come from there, so I forced my way into the crowd. I saw two birds: one is dead, and the other one is crying and pecking at its partner. When I saw this scenario there was one word in my mind—Life! As well, as I thought of a poem that I read it before, The Vantage Point, by Robert Frost. I remembered the last sentence of Frost’s: “I look into the crater of the ant.”

How it is similar to the life between human and animal!

At that time I decided to write English poems. I felt I needed to use some way to express compassion in Canada. I wrote my poem: ”Life.” Now I am very happy that I can write some English poetry to express the life and enjoy my life in Canada.

I have published a book of poetry: Journey: Life is a Journey from A to Z

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

Catherine A. MacKenzie

Catherine A. MacKenzie escapes from her mundane world by writing poems and short fiction. Although she writes all genres, she often veers toward the dark and death, composing fiction most women can relate to. Though, at first reading, her stories may appear bizarre, they are so ominously real that one wonders what lives hidden within her mind. Cathy has been published in various print and online publications. She has also self-published several poetry and short story collections, available as e-books and in print on Amazon and Smashwords.

Cathy also paints, pastels being her favourite medium and her grandchildren her favourite subjects. She lives with her husband in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The couple winters in Ajijic, Mexico, where her works have appeared in local publications.

Don Macmillan

Born in Scotland, I emigrated to Canada in the 1970s. I am now retired, after a lengthy career with Alcan Aluminium Ltd, and prior to that with British Aluminium in the U.K.  During the summer, my wife and I live in beautiful Lac Brome, Quebec, but escape to Florida during the winter. We have two children, who live and work in Montreal.

My wife and I regularly spend a couple of weeks in the fall vacationing in the Maritimes, particularly Nova Scotia with its many Scottish connections and of course visiting my brother-in-law, Richard Payne, in Halifax.

For many years, I have dabbled in poetry writing, mainly to mark special family occasions, but since Richard became involved in the activities of Open Heart Forgery, he has encouraged me to share some of my writings with a wider audience.

I’m originally from Toronto and moved here in 2003. I’ve been writing since I was 14 years old. I had a stroke about 7 years ago and writing helps my brain function. By forcing myself to commit to writing I feel I can improve that part of the brain that needs help. I live in Dartmouth with my son and his family. At this point in time I use a walker but I do like to get around.

Gordon Young

Gordon is a native of Newfoundland. As a young man he enjoyed the rhythms, sounds and smells of the inshore fishery in Conception Bay. His poetry is largely biographical but not sequential as it builds on a tradition of storytelling. True to this tradition, he has learned never to allow facts, the pursuit of accuracy or chronology to diminish the value of a good “yarn.” The past thirty plus years in Halifax have both added to Gordon’s experiences and provided many new stories which are reflected in his poetry.

Ata Zargarof
