Harold Rhenisch is the author of ten books of poetry, including Iodine, about the second coming of Christ; The Blue Mouth of Morning, about Cayote, Mozart and a host of other tricksters; and Free Will, a send-up of the theatre, including versions of Shakespeare's plays composed by a collection of wise and unpredictible monkeys locked into a padded room. He is also the author of the emotionally intense novel Carnival and two books about late colonial British Columbia, Out of the Interior and Tom Thomson's Shack. He has been writing poetry for 30 years. This is his tribute to the creative imagination.
