After many years
of marginalizing poetry David C. Brydges is inflamed and
passionate about promoting poetry. Joining the Stroll of Poets and
Raving Poets reading series in Edmonton has given him a sense of
community and stage for participation.
David believes that Friedrich Holderlin was right when in the 17
th century he said "although we have to earn a living we
dwell poetically on this earth". The natural creative gifts
of observation and capturing them in poetic form is a daily, detailed
discipline.
For the past three years he volunteered and participated in the
Edmonton Poetry festival. David is the founder/artistic director
of Spring Pulse Poetry Festival Northeastern Ontario's largest and
only poetry/arts festival.Check out the festival at www.springpulsepoetryfestival.com

David has created
Blue Apple Press a self-publishing company to get in print his works
for the general public. Recently joining the League of Canadian
Poets as an associate member is an extension of his desire to strengthen
his public association with fellow poets and organizations. David
is an enthusiastic advocate for poetry in public places. Poetry
is a passionate secretion of juices from the muses
