He is a frequent contributor to The Royal City Literary Arts Society’s Ezine Wordplay at Work, and a regular reader at various poetry societies and Vancouver’s Poetry Café radio show. He is a member of the Royal City’s Poetic Justice and Poetry in the Park, where he is known as The Bard in the Park, and the Federation of British Columbia Writers.
Bryce is known also for his readings at retirement homes and care homes. Bryce, who holds a BA in English and Journalism, blogs on Facebook at www.facebook.com/herb.w.bryce.
