Allan Brown: former literary editor of Quarry (Kingston, Ont.), pro-tem editor of the Quarry Press for 1982-84, and guest editor for two issues of Nebula (North Bay, Ont.); presently contributing editor for Jones Av. (Toronto, Ont.) and member of the editorial board of Rim (Powell River, B.C.).

Some poets try to write every day. Allan Brown doesn't. After three-quarters of a lifetime versing (say 48 years, more or less,) he enjoys his waiting times, the balance of speech and silence. Of course, he always has projects, more or less completed. His poems "Erasmus" and "Sappho" are from a loose work-in-progress that deals with transformations in/of art.
