Welcome, poetry lovers. Today we're shining the spotlight on Canadian poet, John RC Potter, who writes from his home in Turkey. John's "hybrid poetic duality" is accompanied by original artwork (with permission of his god-daughter), entitled "Birds in the Setting Sun." Thank you John (and god-daughter) for sharing your work with SHINE!  Original artwork provided by the Potter family. I Don't Understand 'Hate' Two Doggies and Two Daddies: A Hybrid Poem Per the poet's suggestion, click to listen: Patti Page's "How Much Is That Doggie In the Window"  John RC Potter is an international educator from Canada who resides in Istanbul. He has experienced a revolution (Indonesia), air strikes (Israel), earthquakes (Turkey), boredom (UAE), and blinding snow blizzards (Canada), the last being the subject of his story, ‘Snowbound in the House of God’ (Memoirist). The author’s poem, “Nie Wieder/Never Again,” and his story, “Ruth’s World,” were Pushcart Prize nominees, and his poem, “Tomato Heart,” was nominated for the Best of the Net Award. The author has a gay-themed children’s picture book scheduled for publication. He is a member of the League of Canadian Poets and the Playwrights Guild of Canada.
