Bio Sketch
LeRoy
Gorman lives in Napanee, Ontario. His poetry, much of it minimalist and
visual, has appeared in publications and exhibitions worldwide. He is
the author of two dozen poetry books and chapbooks.
A sense of ironic humor is effectively conveyed through the multivalent meanings (thematic, emotional, and sociopolitical) of white (skin color in L1 and the color of snow in L3). And visually speaking, L2 enhances this toxic masculine image of white supremacists.
