Eric joined us over Zoom to read us his poem Weatherman Elegy, a poem of mourning he wrote after realizing how many years it's been since he flipped open the Weather Channel. This poem is a reflection on the mysterious phenomenon of family,  looking back through child's eyes.  Eric is a student and aspiring writer residing in Scarborough. He is the recipient of the Jasun Singh Memorial Award in Creative Writing from UTSC, and he also won first prize in the 2020 Hart House Review Poetry Contest. This fall, Eric will be pursuing a master's degree in creative writing on the west coast.  You can find some of his work in publications such as Guernica, PRISM International, Contemporary Verse 2 and elsewhere.
