Canadian poet
Shane Rhodes is a Canadian poet.
Life.
He graduated from the University of New Brunswick, and currently lives in Ottawa.
He is a two-time winner of the Archibald Lampman Award for poetry. In 2008, when his work "The Bindery" won the award, Rhodes turned over half of the $1,500 prize money to the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, a First Nations health centre. At the time the award was named the Lampman-Scott Award, honouring both Archibald Lampman and Duncan Campbell Scott, and Rhodes felt that Scott's legacy as a civil servant who was responsible for some of Canada's more controversial policy legacy on First Nations issues overshadowed his work as a pioneer of Canadian poetry.
Rhodes identifies as bisexual. His work was included in John Barton and Billeh Nickerson's 2007 anthology "Seminal: The Anthology of Canada’s Gay Male Poets".
