My writing combines a love of the outdoors
with contemporary issues. I spent so much time
hiking and camping overnight as a Boy Scout, my
dad said, "Be careful you don't turn into a tree."
I'm blessed with a love for words, and it's an
honour to be called "an emerging writer" at the
young age of 64. Some of my work is in journals
such as "The Dublin Quarterly," "The Windsor Review,"
"Poems Neiderngasse," "The New Quarterly," "Bogg,"
"Stellar Showcase Journal," "Poetry Sky," "Scribbulations,"
"Canadian Stories," "Quills," "Rubicon Publishing,"
"PusonWeb," and "Tower Poetry." My first Poetry
Chapbook "In the Light of Day" is available through
Mercutio Press at: www.mercutiopress.com.
To my mind, writing poetry is a global adventure,
a journey without borders. As a member of the Writers'
Federation of Nova Scotia, I am listed on their
writer's website at: www.writers.ns.ca.
I enjoy sharing a view of this world, and look
forward to having a full book of poetry published,
along with more of my picture books, juvenile novels
and an adult one. I can be contacted at richardprov1@netscape.net.
