I was interested in learning about a poet/writer named Steve Venright, ever since we read that poem called the “Nuevocations” in class. It was hilarious, witty, and extremely creative all at once, truly a piece that is meant to inspire. Humour is a good communication technique that he uses to capture the reader’s attention which actually allows the reader to enjoy reading his piece.  Venright to me seems like a very lively writer who’s not afraid of wordplay, and definitely not afraid to challenge his audience to try to understand his humour. His writing is like solving puzzles or building new vocabulary by using pre-existing words. He creates new words, and gives them new meanings that actually make sense and could potentially be words if you really push the thought. I also found out that he’s actually a Canadian writer, YAYYY! I knew there was hope for Canadians somewhere:). Anyway, this CANADIAN poet, visual artist, entrepreneur and photographer were born on September 16, 1961 in Sarnia, Canada. He is known to have extraordinarily vivid and fantastic imagery, one of the many forms of visual arts that he expresses in his work. What I honestly find so inspiring about Steve Venright is the fact that he incorporates so many different styles of art and creativity all together to create a sort of collage. I find him very enjoyable to read and if there was one poet I could recommend to anyone right now, no doubt the name would be Steve Venright.
