Rob Friday is a poet, painter and trained theatrical technician (Humber College). A member of the Temagami First Nation in Northern Ontario, he received his BA in English Literature from Laurentian University in 1997. From a young age, he was taught to embrace his creative energy and appreciate nature. His poetry has a narrative structure and metaphorical content allowing him to reconcile an imagined world with the reality at hand. He was a regular at the Applegrove Café reading series in Sudbury and his poem “Chameleon” was aired on CBC North Radio in 1996. He recently won the John Newlove Award for Best Poem of 2008, and is currently working on his first chapbook of poetry.
