Description

Written in the low light glow of a borrowed laptop, J. Fisher’s bulletin from the low light leaves the blinds open and lets the world that lives on the streets below his window slip in. To the shadows that find that window he gives voice as blogs posted where there is enough light to see them. Frontenac’s first blog book from fisher’s popular blog of the same name is an electronic experiment — a seamy and uncompromising take on modern city street life and the author’s own demons. Poems from the blog have been taken up by publications as far afield as Germany’s Mon(u)ment and as close to home as Victoria’s Street Newz.

About the author

Contributor Notes

Born in Edson, Alberta, Fisher currently lives and works in Victoria’s downtown core. His first short story “for what it’s worth” was published when he was 19. He spent his early 20s as a wildly unsuccessful blues singer and lyricist. His love of the word propelled him thru his failings until, in 2004, he managed to bring together the pieces which would make up his first collection, Death Day Erection. His poems continue to appear in e-zines, reviews and publications all over North America and Europe.
