James Hawes lives and writes in Montreal. His work has appeared in Grain, Quills, Stone the Crows!, Rogue Stimulus: the Stephen Harper Anthology for a Prorogued Parliament (Mansfield), and Another Dysfunctional Cancer Poem Anthology (Mansfield), as well as the chapbook Bus Metro Walk (Monk Press). When not writing poems he is happiest on a lake, in a fishing boat with his wife and two sons.
