James Morehead

James Morehead is a product manager by day, poet by night. James lives in Dublin, California, and his first collection of poetry, “canvas”, debuts June 2021 (Viewless Wings Press). While attending the University of Waterloo for Computer Engineering he took every English course he could fit into his schedule. He calls both the USA and Canada home.

“James Morehead’s ‘canvas’ opens itself to the poetry of everyday life, where stanzas are etched in sand, and poems end in sunset. Combining micro-narratives of Boston bullies cornering a young boy, with minute descriptions of time in quarantine, it draws us into moving tableaus of tenacious attention to what went down, what might come up, and where we might find ourselves. These are poems to be savored, re-read, kept handy for those times when only poetry will do.” ‒ W. J. T. MITCHELL, Senior Editor of Critical Inquiry and Gaylord Donnelley Distinguished Service Professor, English and Art History, University of Chicago.
