Ken Norris was born in New York City in 1951. In the early seventies, he emigrated to Canada, where he quickly became on of Montreal's infamous Vehicule Poets and the author of numerous books of poetry. He became a Canadian citizen in 1985. Norris teacges at the University of Maine, where he is professor of Canadian Literature. He currently divides his time between Canada, Maine, and the Caribbean.
He is, in short, a poet, and a good one. The world he inhabits is a geographically, politically, and emotionally extensive one in which he is entirely comfortable in his own skin, and therefore able to register the surrounding phenomena exactly. - Michael
