Toronto, and at The Dragon, a private high school in Toronto. He has re-written
Paradise Lost as the comical misadventures of a family in England (
View from a Kettle, portions of which have appeared in
Stride,
The Trumpeter,
Lowbagger, and publications of that ilk). Portions of
A, his history book manuscript, have appeared in
Early
American Literature and
South Atlantic Quarterly. New or forthcoming pieces or interviews this year in:
Amauta (Costa Rica),
Lumpen (Chicago),
Mayday (Hamilton, Ontario),
The Stamp Project (at The Owls, cyberbranch), and
The Journal (Cumbria, England). Thomson has a Friday column in
CounterPunch, the American political magazine, which he tends to fill with anti-political confessions. He lives in the Great Lakes watershed.
