Gordon Chisholm is the author of a previous volume of poetry, The Cracks in the Sidewalk (2019), as well as the children's book Bud (2021). All were inspired by his over twenty years of teaching, observing children's activities, their ups and downs, and appreciating their unique perspective on a world that many adults have forgotten or "outgrown."
He lives in the Downsview area of North York in the city of Toronto with his wife, Ruth, and two pets, a poodle named Lulu and a cat named Oliver. In his spare time, he enjoys golf, curling, and bowling, woodworking, and playing the guitar and ukulele.
