Emile Pinet

(Click for Poet Info...)

I was born in a small city, (Bathurst) New Brunswick, Canada, the third eldest of thirteen children, ten girls and three boys. I’m the product of a semi-dysfunctional family, brought up by a physically controlling father, versus a loving nurturing mother. Many of my poems reflect the uniqueness and special circumstances of my upbringing and love of nature.

Your rules are clear enough to follow emile, I can understand your frustration... but with many poems not making the final cut it will make jugding the contest a lot easier:-) hugs Jan xx

Emile, I wonder why so many are not reading the rules that seem pretty straight forward to me, I could not enter because I already won a book from you but would have written you a beauty !

Without rules, there's no craft. Without craft, there's no transcendence to art. Just sayin'.

I see that rules are now blasé ...long live anarchy...after all it's a sign of the times we live in, Emile.
