About Me
My name is Ward Maxwell, and I am a poet and artist living in Toronto, Canada. This website is to share my work with the world, which includes you.
I hope these works create joy for you. That’s my purpose. I‘ve reached the point in my work where if you, the reader/viewer, like the work then that’s what I want. I’ve realized, I’m making stuff to share it, in the hopes, you might take pleasure in it, find an insight, or may be inspired by it. That’s what completes the loop of making art for me.
All of the work featured on the site is by myself. The art is analogue in its making. I do not use AI to create any of my art or writing.
If you like something, please let me know. Part of the purpose is to interact with anyone who likes what I’m doing. Feel free to comment, share, like, or … just experience a moment of joy.
Thanks for taking the time to look through the site. The site will be updated regularly. Please visit again soon!
Writing
Mouse Fox Lion
One day a mighty lioness fell into a hunter’s net and was ensnared. She lay within the coils of her demise and bemoaned her fate. Then she saw a mouse. “Hey friend. Care to help a lion in need?”
‘Why should I help my enemy?” replied the mouse.
Good answer, thought the lion. “Tell you what, you help me, I owe you a favour, what do you say, deal?”
