Quintessential Listening: Poetry Online Radio Presents Simon Constam

Simon Constam is a Toronto poet and aphorist. His first book of poetry, BROUGHT DOWN, was published in January 2022, by Wipf and Stock Publishers.  Its early reviews have been exceptional! Kevin John Hart, Anglo-Australian theologian, philosopher, and poet, “Some of the poems remind me, in the best way, of poems by Yehuda Amichai and Nelly Sachs. . . . From time to time, I also was reminded of some of the later poems of R. S. Thomas.”  He has published poetry in a number of magazines, among them The Jewish Literary Journal, long con magazine, the Dark Poets Club, and Poetica Magazine. Since late 2018, he has been publishing, under the moniker Daily Ferocity, an original aphorism every day on Instagram and for an email subscriber base. In early 2023, Simon’s first two books of aphorisms, The Love Aphorisms and The Book of Dark Ideas, will be published.   See Simon at simonconstam.com Brought Down: Constam, Simon: 9781666790115: Amazon.com: Books
