Peter Austin lives with his wife and three daughters in Toronto, where he teaches English at Seneca College. Over a hundred of his poems have been published, in magazines and anthologies in the USA (including The New Formalist, Contemporary Sonnet, The Lyric, Iambs & Trochees, Chimaera, Lucid Rhythms and Road not Taken), Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel and Germany. As well as poetry, he writes plays, and his musical adaptation of The Wind in the Willows has enjoyed four productions, the most recent in July ’07, in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Its sixteen narrative poems recount
incidents in America’s history from the
Revolution to the present, with cameo
