Johnny MacRae

Cascadia

“Every blue moon or so, you meet an artist who approaches his craft with such genuine earnestness and integrity that it shifts the stars in your universe. Johnny MacRae is one of these artists. His performances and poetry work to constantly stretch our perceptions of poetry into unknown realms. If this is what being out of the box is, I am jumping out!” Mary Pinkoski, Poet Laureate of Edmonton

"One of the weirdest poets in Canada."
Charles Hamilton, Tonight It's Poetry

"The Bob Ross of Canadian poetry."
"Mighty" Mike McGee

"“MacRae perform[s] poems grounded in a mythic cosmology, poems which combine a respect for traditional poetic structure with an impishly postmodern sense of humor.” Vince Tinguely, LitLive.ca
