During his undergraduate degree at Concordia University he participated in the Sir George Williams affair as an occupant. He then took a few years off to live at an artist commune called Meatball Creek Farm in the Quebec Eastern Townships. Since the 1970s, he taught literature at John Abbott College in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec. He retired in 2008. His work has been published in six different languages: French, Spanish, Hungarian, Italian, Slovenian and Turkish. He was a part of the Montreal experimental writing collective, The Vehicule Poets and was a founding editor of Véhicule Press. He later founded the publishing press, The Muses’ Company.
