On the last Sunday of Poetry Month, we bring you our interview with Gil McElroy. Gil is a poet, visual artist, curator, and visual arts critic. He has published four books of poetry with Talonbooks, a collection of art writing with Gaspereau Press, and a memoir about his father and what it was like growing up a military brat during the height of the Cold War. He’s also published numerous chapbooks, and was co-winner of the bpNichol Chapbook Award for The Merton Lake Propers (2013). He currently lives in Colborne and works for Canada Post delivering mail on rural routes.
