From 2007 to 2016, Jamie Sharpe led an itinerant life, throughout British Columbia and the Yukon, in Sechelt, Prince George, Dawson, Salmon Arm, Whitehorse, Galiano, and Texada Island. And now, "only a few of his worm-eaten books remain in the musty libraries of literary perverts." So asserts the promo for Everything You Hold Dear (ECW 2020), his fourth book dubbed as "a posthumous work from a living writer." Jamie Sharpe's first collection of poems, Animal Husbandry (ECW Press), became one of the publisher's bestselling poetry titles. It was followed by Cut-up Aplogetic (ECW Press) and Dazzle Ships (ECW Press). He lives in Comox.
