After working in general construction jobs, sawmill and logging work, he moved to Vancouver in the early 1960s, and with Bill Bissett and Seymour Mayne he started Very Stone House Press. His poetry concerns the brutal and violent world of mills and camps in the interior of British Columbia. His poems have twice been collected by Oxford University Press, in 1978 and 1987.
