Rob Mclennan, Ottawa Poetry Newsletter
“Watching John Stiles … is like watching someone lost in a trance. He squeezes his eyes shut,
channels the voices of his speakers and loudly emits sounds of growling dogs,
wailing sirens and non-verbal whoops of joy and despair.”
Geoff Pevere, The Toronto Star
“…utterly absorbing … A fascinating portrait of a fascinating subject.”
Tom McSorley, Director of The Canadian Film Institute
