About Don Kerr
Don Kerr is professor emeritus of English at the University of Saskatchewan and the poet laureate of Saskatchewan (2012). His strong sense of regionalism influences his interpretation of Victor Cicansky's work, in which he makes connections between the work and the artist's ethnic immigrant agrarian roots.
