About Me

Neil Aitken is the author of two books of poetry, Babbage’s Dream (Sundress 2017) and The Lost Country of Sight (Anhinga 2008), which won the Philip Levine Prize, as well as a chapbook of poetry, Leviathan (Hyacinth Girl Press 2016). A former computer programmer and a proud Kundiman poetry fellow, he is also the founding editor of Boxcar Poetry Review, curator of Have Book Will Travel, and co-director of De-Canon: A Visibility Project. After over twenty years studying and working in the United States, he moved back to Canada in 2019. He now lives in Regina, Saskatchewan where he works as a creative writing coach and manuscript editor.
