Christopher Dewdney
b. 1951


Christopher Dewdney is a Canadian poet and writer who explores

the intersections of science and literature in his work. He is the son
of the artist, author, and pioneering art therapist Selwyn Dewdney.
He is the author of more than ten books of poetry,
including Predators of the Adoration (1983) and Radiant
Inventory (1998), nominated for the Canadian Governor Generals
Award. Two other books were also nominated for the Governor
Generals Award: The Immaculate Perception (1986), which
includes poetry and essays on language, consciousness, and dreams
and won a CBC Literary Competition, and Acquainted with the
Night: Excursions Through the World After Dark (2004).
Dewdneys other poetry collections include Demon Pond(1994)
and The Natural History (2002). Works of nonfiction include Last
Flesh: Life in the Transhuman Era (1998) and Soul of the World:
Unlocking the Secrets of Time (2008).

Describing the effect of his childhood, in which there was as much

art around the house as there was science, on his poetry, Dewdney
once said, My poetry is warped out of science. I think Im a
frustrated scientist in poetry and a frustrated poet in science. All
poetry deals with information, finally.
