Kevin Andrew Heslop (b. 1992, Canada) released poetry, curatorial, film, screenwriting, and non-fiction debuts with Gordon Hill Press, McIntosh Gallery, Astoria Pictures, Rose Garden Press, and The Porcupine’s Quill from 2021 through 2025. During this period, he documented his life at artist residencies in Serbia, Finland, France, Brazil, Denmark, and Japan through long-form dialogues forthcoming with Guernica Editions as Craft, Consciousness: Dialogues about the Arts. At point of writing, with his fifth collaborative art exhibition installed in Canada, he is artist in residence with Teatro Oficina in São Paulo, Brazil, writing his debut feature film.

Kevin’s latest book, The Writing on the Wind’s Wall, consists of in-depth dialogues, conducted in his hometown, about Medical Assistance in Dying, with a medium, a politician, a psychiatrist, a prospective recipient, administering physicians, a media-studies scholar, a death doula, a religious leader, and relatives of the deceased. A chorus heard separately and brought together between its covers, the book is a testament of fled music to how a community felt, and what they believed, about living and dying here together now.
