Luke was approached by his employment coach Brittney of Smart Options to consider writing short poems and stories for the local Kamloops Self-Advocacy Newsletter run by Krystian Shaw.

Luke was honoured to become published again, and have a larger audience for his creative writing. He submitted his “Underestimated No More” story and his poem “I Can Hear” to the April Newsletter, and more recently, he wrote a poem about the newsletter’s theme of “Spring” for the May Newsletter. All were published and can be found on the KSA news website. https://ksanews.ca/


I Can Hear (Luke’s first poem)




Here is his May poem:


Welcome Old Friend 

Tides of March roll in

on a warm breeze. 

Days longer, warmer, brighter

I breathe it in

Graced by the first blooms.

The buzz of birds and butterflies

I feel alive.

Welcome spring.

I’ve missed you.

—Luke Verhoeff
