Jason Holt is een Canadese dichter wiens werk de draden van poëzie, filosofie en sport ingenieus met elkaar verweeft. Hij duikt in diepgaande vragen over de aard van bewustzijn en onderzoekt hoe filosofische concepten verschillende aspecten van het bestaan doordringen. Holt's onderscheidende aanpak ligt in zijn vermogen om intellectuele en artistieke bezigheden te synthetiseren, en biedt lezers een tot nadenken stemmend en onconventioneel perspectief.
