Budavox: New Writers (DC Books Hardcover)

Todd Swift is one of the most exciting and eclectic young writers to emerge in Canada. Over the last years he has continuously explored new genres and themes, writing in a variety of styles, including work for television, film, radio, theatre, CD, spoken word and the printed page. He has also become recognized as one of North America's leading poetry activists and is involved internationally in the promotion of performance poets, through his various cabaret events and other related projects. As performer, writer, impresario and editor, (of the significant anthologies "Map-Makers' Colours: New Poets of Northern Ireland" and "Poetry Nation: The North American Anthology of Fusion Poets"), he has defined a new kind of cosmopolitan panache for the idea of the poet as key figure at the start of the new millennium.
