Andrew Lafleche is the award-winning poet and author of No Diplomacy, A Pardonable Offence, and Ride—among other titles. His work uses a spoken style of language to blend social criticism, philosophical reflection, explicit prose, and black comedy.

Following his service to Canada as an infantry soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces, Lafleche received an M.A. in Creative and Critical Writing from the University of Gloucestershire.

He lives on a farmstead in the Bonnechere Valley with his two cats, Hemingway and Bukowski, and his Gerberian Shepsky, Raymond Carver.
