Meet the Artist

Evan

D'Alleva

Writer

“Rock Music is a collection of poetry written alongside the bands and bars of Toronto — in a nightlife of eccentric and subversive styles which desire to outbid one another. Rock is volatile. It is an unstable wavelength, producing distortion. An impossible connection between blues and hardcore. It is a ground for those with a shared sense of non-belonging.Rock Music is available for purchase May 6 at GradEx 111.”
