Caught in My Throat Press Release
Caught in My Throat, David Fraser’s fourth collection of poetry, courageously reveals versions of his truth.
These poems are passionate narratives that are both evocative and entertaining, as he weaves
stories that have shaped his life and the lives of others. In a metaphorical sense his truth is lodged in his throat and he is driven tell it.
As a witness, the poet is compelled to break the silence that inhabits memory. Caught in My Throat is a testament to this
poet’s evolutionary growth. Here is an exploration of possibilities, a juggling of the truth, and a mining of the
sediment of his life.
David Fraser was born in Toronto, but now lives and works on the west coast on Vancouver Island. His previous
collections are Going to the Well, Running Down the Wind, and No Way Easy. He has frequently performed his work
on Vancouver Island as well as in Ontario, Canada and Aarau, Basel and Zurich in Switzerland.
