John McAuley

John McAuley teaches in the English department at Concordia University. He met
Endre Farkas when both were undergraduates in the late 1960s and Artie Gold later at a Booster & Blaster meeting. In the 1970s, he edited Maker magazine and, with Stephen Morrissey and Robert Galvin, ran the poetry reading series at Véhicule Art Inc. As a coordinator at the gallery, he oversaw dozens of national and international performances and exhibitions and, as a member of the Vehicule poets, was instrumental in seeing The Vehicule Poets anthology through to publication with Maker Press. He has published five books, and his work has appeared in a number of anthologies.
