WakeWord & Frontenac House

Good Afternoon, My PoetryPeeps…

Good Day, Greetings & Salutations.

Hello and How are you, today?

WarmestWelcome. 

PoetryPeeps, remember on Social Media when I posted pics 1 and 2?

Well…

They were, and still are, about pics 3 and 4!

Wakefield Brewster,

aka: Da Lyrical PitBull,

aka: Da WordWizard…

Will finally be published!

After a quarter-century of rocking it live, from my humble beginnings on open mics in Toronto, Ontario -

To becoming your Poet Laureate of Calgary, Alberta - 

I’ve finally achieved this ever-elusive milestone, my first book of Poetry. 

Thank You Frontenac House, for publishing the first full book of my Poetry - in my career. 

Thank You, Neil Petrunia. This is the first honour of its kind, and I am wholeheartedly humbled.  

Very Special Thank You, to YYC Poet Laureate #3, Poet and Spoken Word Artist, my Editor and MyFriend: Micheline Maylor-Kovitz. 

Everyone - this Poet is in my corner. 

I’m posting in-between Massage clients, as most days are Words and Wellness.

I simply just got the go-ahead from my Editor - I CAN SAY THIS SHIT, NOW - to let the world know why…

I make DaFace. 

To be released in April 2024, for another Best National Poetry Month Ever:

“WakeWord”

Thank You, Calgary. 

Thank You, All. 

WordWizard out…

P.S.  

My Poetry professor at York University stated that my Poetry was nonsense, garbage, and gobbledegook. 

I very shortly was placed on academic probation. 

I almost immediately failed out. 

For 25 years, I’ve had a nagging belief that my work couldn’t-wouldn’t-shouldn’t be published.
