In spring 2000 I convocated with a Ph.D. in
English and was hired at the Canadian Mennonite
University in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I did my doctoral work in
the Department
of English at the University
of Alberta, focussing on George Herbert, an early seventeenth-century
poet. Between my M. A. and my Ph. D., I worked at Maskwachees
Cultural College in the Cree community of Hobbema, Alberta.
I am married to Sally Ito, who writes both fiction and poetry, and
we have a nine-year old son, Kenji, and a five-year old daughter,
Seika.
