With My Eyes Wide Open<\/strong> navigates life\u2019s catastrophes, failures, and coming through experiential slaughter revived and reborn to new possibilities. The biographical themes of grief, family, and resiliency amid the backdrop of racism and near-poverty are explored with earnestness and no filter. This is confessional poetry where the poet acknowledges his wanton decisions with deft poetic skill, astute creativity, and imaginative flair. This is not a book of victimhood, but one of triumph!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michael Fraser<\/strong> of Toronto was published in Best Canadian Poetry in English, 2013 and 2018. He has won numerous awards, including Freefall Magazine<\/em>\u2019s 2014 and 2015 poetry contests, the 2016 CBC Poetry Prize, the 2018 Gwendolyn MacEwen Poetry Competition, and the League of Canadian Poets\u2019 2022 Lesley Strutt Poetry Prize. With My Eyes Wide Open<\/em> is his fourth poetry collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
