    About this ebook

    Stedmond Pardy' s first book of poems The Pleasures of this Planet Aren't Enough was published by Mosaic Press in 2020 and launched his career as a boundary-pushing literary and poetic voice. His devoted readers can' t get enough of his compelling YouTube and Soundcloud spoken-word performances.Critical acclaim for The Pleasures of This Planet...“ Stedmond Pardy has the potential to become a landmark in Canadian literature — to encourage you to become lost inside a painting. No street is just a street, no addict, an addict with Pardy. Reading Stedmond Pardy' s jazz-infused poetry is to be pulled into a different world, whether you wish to be there, or not. Pardy the poet is willing to take risks, beyond vacuous, redundant mimicry: Pardy dares to swim in the deep end of the pool.“ — Dane Swan, 2017 Trillium Book Award for Poetry FinalistBeached Whales, Stedmond Pardy's new book, has pushed his poetic voice even further...“ From Atlantis to Brazil — en route to the future — Stedmond Pardy strikes again with poems of mythic proportions and resonances converging myth with visions of a world uncoerced by capital, urging wakefulness to the challenges of our time. Pardy' s poems embolden by speaking nakedly to your soul.” — Adebe DeRango-Adem, author of Vox HumanaStedmond lives by his own dicta: “ An artist is an instrument through which the Universe reveals itself and word poetry is for every man, but soul poetry, alas, is not heavily distributed.”
