"Stedmond Pardy' first book of poems The Pleasures of this Planet Aren't Enough published by Mosaic Press in 2020 launched his career as a totally original and impactful literary and poetic voice. He has already left his mark and his audiences and readers now can see him on youtube, souncloud.com, and innumerable photos on the internet. The publication of his first book was heralded as "..Stedmond Pardy has the potential to become a landmark in Canadian literature - to encourage you to become lost inside a painting. No street is just a street, no addict, an addict with Pardy. Reading Stedmond Pardy's jazz-infused poetry is to be pulled into a different world, whether you wish to be there, or not....Pardy the poet is willing to take risks, beyond vacuous, redundant mimicry: Pardy dates to swim in the deep end of the pool." Dane Swan, 2017 Trillium Book Award for Poetry Finalist. Beached Whales, Stedmond Pardy's new book, pushed his poetic voice further. " From Atlantis to Brazil - en route to the future - Stedmond Pardy strikes again with poems of benthic proportions and resonances converging myth with visions of a world uncoerced by capital, urging wakefulness to the challenges of our time." Pardy's poems embolden by speaking nakedly to your soul." Adebe DeRango-Adem, author of Vox Humana Stedmond lives by his own dicta: 'An artist is an instrument through which the Universe reveals itself & Word poetry is for every man, but soul poetry, alas, is not Heavily distributed.""--
