Why bother with archives? Does anyone really care what I wrote back in June 2006? Not really, but a few older pages still see some traffic from Google and other engines. I guess these pages are more for me than anyone else. I can't remember June 2006. Was I drinking then?

Michael Gravel: I'm a writer & poet living in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I co-founded the Raving Poets organization and the super cool Roar Spoken Word Festival. I'm the founding editor of Daily Haiku.org (past), an international, online haiku journal. I'm the author of “The Fast Places”, a poetry chapbook published by Red Nettle Press in May 2008. I sometimes wear a Yankees cap and white running shoes. I've been mistaken for Patrick Swayze on at least two occasions. I live with my wife, stepdaughter, and two dogs. My biography.

Where would the world be without poetry? Who knows, it might be a better place. The thing I'm here to do, the thing that gets me up in the morning, is poetry. I've had a life long love affair with words and that manifests itself in my poetic endeavors. I helped found The Raving Poets, a group of musicians and poets based in Edmonton, Alberta, who rock faces on a weekly basis with poetic awesomeness. For your reading interest (and possible pleasure) I've made a few of my poems available on this website. Read them here.
