Jason Christie

Jason Christie Jason Christie lives in Alberta, Canada.

Jason Christie was told by a guidance councilor in high school that he would have a hard time in college, so he had best get a trade as soon as possible.

Luckily for Canadian lovers of poetry, Jason disregarded that advice, left Milton, Ontario and went on to obtain a BA Honours from York University in Toronto with a double major in English Literature and Creative Writing. In 2005, Jason completed his MA at the University of Calgary.

He has become one of Canada’s most innovative poets. His avant-garde approach to poetry challenges the status quo and questions what a poem may be. He has had his work reviewed in The Calgary Herald, The Globe & Mail, and on numerous poetry and poetics blogs — most notably Ron Silliman's.

Jason’s poetry has been published in numerous magazines, journals, and anthologies. He has also contributed as an editor, along with Derek Beaulieu and A. Rawlings, to the sensational anthology “Shift &Switch: New Canadian Poetry”, published by Mercury Press in 2005. His first book of poetry, entitled “Canada Post”, was published in the spring of 2006 by Snare Books.

Considered one of Canada's cutting-edge poets, Jason writes with a highly intelligent, satirical and somewhat whimsical, alternative style. This is strongly evidenced in Christie’s new book being published by EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing ... i-ROBOT Poetry by Jason Christie.

i-ROBOT Poetry by Jason Christie takes us into the automated world of the appliance, where sentience brings disharmony as common household items are no longer content to be slaves to the desires and needs of human beings, questing for more in their lives.

In a collection that is both simultaneously humorous and deeply thought-provoking, Christie delivers a unique social commentary from the eyes of robots around us. You may never look at your blow-dryer, toaster or our automated world in the same way again.
