Creative Calvin
I am first and foremost a creative, and my work has appeared across the globe. I am an internationally published poet, an award winning translator (buy my first full collection here!), and a haiku writer with pieces of my ongoing project, Ten Thousand Haiku, having made their way into the work of other artists all over the world.
Below you'll find examples of poems and translations (click a picture, get a poem!) followed by a handful of other projects and collaborations that very cool and extremely talented people have honored me by creating for and with me.
