I started writing in the early 1960s. A number of my novels, stories, poems and were published through the years. Since 1978 much of my work appears with one form or another of Gerald and Maas, a small press and imprint, partnered with the artist Julie Maas (we're also married). Since about 2001 I've written the website nightslantern.ca, concerned with the prevention of genocide. I still write poems but the urgency of endangered peoples pushes me toward journalism in areas which the media aren't able or inclined to cover. The current book I'm working on gathers my writings from the past ten years on genocides, SOURCES OF CONTEMPORARY GENOCIDE, by John Bart Gerald, with graphics by Julie Maas.
