Frank Mewes was born in Germany but now lives in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. Originally a professional cook, he explored and rejected life as a monk, then earned an MA in philosophy and taught college before deciding the academic world was not his niche, either. Now, after years of city life and travel, Frank and his wife Nicole are enjoying a rural lifestyle. While waiting to discover his true calling, Frank enjoys music, drumming, hiking, reading, and writing. He began writing poetry ten years ago as an occasional way to vent his thoughts.
