    Jason J. Humphreys

    Jason Humphreys is a blue collar poet who loves long walks in the woods, belting out Stan Rogers tunes(or any other song that suits him), and periods of peaceful solitude. He has no accolades to recommend him as many established authors do save his insatiable love of learning, the written word, the natural world, and meaningful interactions. He shares his life with his wife, his father, and his cat in the beautiful and picturesque Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia - a region known for engendering reflective contemplation and inspiration.
