Glen Hogard, poet

Glen Hogard lives in Calgary, Alberta and completed a MA in creative writing at the University of Calgary and an undergrad degree at York University in Toronto. He has published in various chapbook anthologies and has just completed a book-length poetry collection, of which, the submitted poetry is a selection. Each poem was written and edited within a 24-hour period and is assigned that day it was written in sequence as the title. The poems are compressed walks off a lyrical plank within the pressure of that day. Some of his poems will be included in an upcoming issue of Filling Station. His agreement with Twitter can be found @saaski2

172, 193, 286, 344 and 347 — Volume 5, Issue 1

Glen Hogard shares fives poems from a larger collection written over a year-long period. One poem per day regardless of the external, or internal, weather. Composed under the visual pressure of the Rocky mountains and polished by inconsiderate prairie winds, 172, 193, 286, 344, and 347 are each named for the day in sequence on which it was written.
