He has other works in progress: new poems (for a book called Decoding Dust); a collection of essays, thoughts, stories, and aphorisms; a study of visionaries and of the nature of inspiration; a trilogy of novels called The Forking of the Ways. He has been at work since 2012 on a new book of poems and stories about his experiences in Spain—tentatively titled, Eternal Andalusia. In 2014 he began an editorial-creative relationship with the Hamilton Arts and Letters (HAL) publication. In 2015 he founded a theatre group at York University, called The Dead Tree Medium Group. The troupe consists of York University Theatre/Creative Writing students. They performed "Technogenie" from Decoding Dust at the Pages Unbound Literary Festival in Toronto in May.
