James C. MacDonald

James C. MacDonald was professor and Associate Dean of English at Humber College in Toronto. He was educated at Waterloo Lutheran University and the University of Toronto. As editor, writer, and consultant, he has worked for many publishing companies, the Canadian Institute for the Administration of Justice, and government agencies such as CIDA and APEC. He has also published various articles on education and on Canadian and British Literature. He now spends his time in the Niagara Region and New Orleans.

My friend, Kim Coates, award winning tv and stage actor, star of Sons of Anarchy, Bad Blood, Jerusalem, and over 65 films has kindly written about my book: "PRICKING BALLOONS couldn't come at a better time. Some of us are at an age where life's mysteries begin to mean something or mean everything or exist somewhere in between. MacDonald's poems are rich in life, spirituality, innocence, darkness, comedy, and just plain living in this crazy world."
