“…What others are saying: “Some books of poetry perform for their readers. Others keep a quieter appointment, the kind you meet alone, before light, while the world sleeps. Jeremy Le Page’s debut collection, In the Dark Hours, belongs firmly to the second kind, and I came to it the way I come to most things, in the cold and the dark… The book had my attention before I understood why.” – Dr. Amy Tucker, reviewer for The British Columbia Review


“…poem after poem allows a picture of longing and regret to emerge. A journey of forward-motion backtracking implies that emotional growth entails a systematic karmic progression, although a better word might be procession, a march toward reassessing the past.”- Steven Mayoff, author of Swinging Between Water and Stone (Galleon Books) and Poor Man’s Opera (Galleon Books).


“These poems accumulate into a spiritual landscape and are not only a relaxing escape, but also the real living world that we inhabit. This is a wonderful collection right from the heart of the land into the mind of anyone who wants to give this poet their ear.” – Timothy Arliss O’Brien, The Poet Heroic Founder

 

Jeremy Le Page is a Canadian writer and visual artist, born in 1974 in Dundas, Ontario.

In 1998 he self-published his first book, All Who Walk Lightly, a collection of short prose written while he was in his early twenties and living in London, Ontario. The following year, he published Orianna, a novella.

Le Page went on to study print journalism for two years at Durham College in Oshawa, while freelance writing for local newspapers and painting regularly. After graduation, he worked as a reporter in Durham Region to later operate a small art gallery in Port Perry, Ontario with his wife, Erin. The gallery focused on Canadian and indigenous art. During this time Le Page continued his visual art career as well as freelanced for several publications. After almost eight years, in 2012, the Le Page’s decided to close their gallery and focus on raising their two children. During this time Jeremy painted voraciously and continued to write. He currently resides with his family in Whitby, Ontario.
