— from Cathy Ferran for Orcas School District —

He also studied poetry with Barney Childs at the University of Redlands. A former commercial fisherman in Alaska, and a professional ski instructor based in Ketchum, Idaho. Bruce’s true passion is writing – all genres.
Bruce’s work was recently recognized as a finalist in the Montreal International Poetry Festival contest. The award is announced in September – we wish him luck!
