Shamek Pietucha

Shamek Pietucha made up his name in grade 2 because no one could say the original polish(przemyslaw)correctly. He moved to Canada in 1982 and tried to make life as interesting as possible. He has been to the olympics and has been to medical school. Currently he is traveling to Bali for the last tranquil moment that he needs before starting on the next sojourn of this life in the big city of Toronto. He loves to swim, dance, paint light bulbs and imagine. He has been practicing the written word for nearly 15 years now and it makes him rich. One night he had a dream that he was a samurai warrior. For him that is what it is all about – making living simple again – "Let me kick ass, jump,kick and glide on trees – peacefully" Email

In between busy career moves, he began to write poetry and his favourite poets became Raymond Souster, a friend and Archibald Lampman, who wrote wonderful imagery. Richard is very proud to be associated with WFNS, and to have been a Writer in the Schools for eight years, before his stroke in 1999.
