Black Hamlet

Black Hamlet

Black Hamlet aka Roy Stanton is the author of 31 books, including Loser! One Hand, and Who is Black Hamlet?. Black Hamlet lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, after a long stint in Los Angeles and an even longer stint in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia.

After 30 books, Black Hamlet is one of the most prolific and innovative poets of the 21st century, with his unique applications of form poetry, free verse, some slam and rap for good measure, and his signature forays into the hard and soft sciences.

As well as his poetry, Black Hamlet has just finished his first novel: LOSER!

Topical, confronting, sometimes abrasive, Black Hamlet plans to keep evolving and producing until he has nothing left to say. A day he struggles to foresee.
