PETER PAUL VAN CAMP
  Peter Paul Van Camp has been characterized in various ways ~~ "a throwback to an earlier era", " an escapee from the groves of academe", and even "a lost calf, bawling in an unforgiving wilderness".....To such portrayals Mr. Van Camp replies "These may or may not be strictly accurate, but the truth is, I just can't help myself when people gather, and the reading of poetry is even a remote possibility."   Raised in small town Ohio, Peter Paul emigrated to Montreal in the sunset of his teens and there began his coffee house apprenticeship. This opened the door to national touring and folk festivals, and the publication of two books: "The Better Poems of Peter Paul Van Camp" (1978) "When My Grandmother Cleans My Room, and A Good Five Dozen Other Poems & One Recipe For Cornmeal Mush" (2017).  Now entering his sixth decade on the rostrum, Mr. Van Camp's motto has been and remains "My Best Effort Today, And Better Luck Next Time!".......and here he is right now.
