Biography | Paul Meunier is currently an English, course-based Masters student at the University of Calgary, with a concentration in Creative Writing. Paul has a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Photography, Alberta College of Art and Design, 2004, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English, University of Calgary, 2016. Paul is currently applying for his doctorate in English with a Creative Writing concentration. His work combines conceptual poetry with identity politics as a voice for social justice. He is interested in exploring forms of poetry where visual aesthetics or constraints interact with the identity politics inherent in subject representation, particularly in concrete poetry and phonetic-constraints. Outside of his academic career, Paul has worked in community development for sixteen years. As such, his current poetry examines the three-sided, relationship between literary form, content, and the ethics of subject representation. Paulês current poetry explores language corrosion and recontextualization, with a project on –gramograms”: language constructed through the phonetic sounds of individual letters read in isolation, in deliberate sequence.
