Robert Priest is the author of fifteen books of poetry, 3 plays, 2 novels, lots of musical CDs, one hit song, and many columns for Now Magazine. His words have been debated in the legislature, posted in the transit system, quoted in the Farmer's Almanac, and sung on Sesame Street. In recent years his stint as Dr. Poetry on the CBC and his poetry videos on youtube and myspace have helped him find a whole new audience.
