Ralph Alfonso has lived in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Oakville. He's a beatnik poet, musician, writer, designer, photographer, illustrator, record label owner and more. For over 10 years, he lovingly hand printed a monthly zine (RALPH, Coffee Jazz and Poetry) on a 1940s Gestetner mimeograph machine (now collected in two books). Currently in Montreal, Ralph is still all over the pop culture map and hopefully he can reconcile many of his loves here.

CHRISTMAS WEEK - Thursday After - God bless the French. God bless their vin.
Lots of parties going on this week. Lots of new people to meet.
Lots of wine bought. Lots of wine drunk.
Lots of cheese eaten. Next week it'll all be gone, except maybe for the crumbs under the couch cushions - but for now, the gamut of gatherings awaits.... stay calm... use stealth...

YOU ARE THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
I'M JUST A TOAD IN A SUIT
I paid good money for this jacket
I hope I don't spill anything on it
I know the doorman's giving me the eye
Maybe it's my polka-dot tie
But it's too late now
Cause I'm already in
Popping open the wine bottles
God bless the French. God bless their vin.
I got myself some fancy bacon on a cracker
And maybe a little cheese quiche for after
I know you're trying to talk to me
I'm busy eating, man, can't you see
I'm just another interesting person
Wandering around this party
Ralph Alfonso
