Don Perkins is a member of the Edmonton Stroll of Poets and Parkland Poets, and a former board member of the Edmonton Poetry Festival. For many years, with fellow Stroll member Gary Garrison, he has helped provide monthly poetry prompt sets to engage and stimulate interested area poets. He gets a special lift from free-ranging poetic exchanges with Anna Marie Sewell and Kayleigh Cline, exchanges (or conversations) they call “mustangs.”
