National Poetry Month? Poet Jeff Seffinga is averse to the idea. According to him, every month is Poetry Month; in fact every day is Poetry Day! He immerses himself in it from his first pre-breakfast haiku to the last image that dances through his mind as he drops off to sleep.

For over four decades, Jeff Seffinga has been an active voice of poetry in Southern Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe. His considerable knowledge of the written word and his skill as a poet are matched by oratorical strength and ease, and an open willingness to read at public readings held in such diverse venues as libraries, art galleries, coffee houses and historical sites.
