Shane Rhodes is aCanadian poet.

He graduated from theUniversity of New Brunswick, and currently lives inOttawa.

He is a two-time winner of theArchibald Lampman Award for poetry. In 2008, when his workThe Bindery won the award, Rhodes turned over half of the $1,500 prize money to the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, a First Nations health centre. At the time the award was named theLampman-Scott Award, honouring both Archibald Lampman andDuncan Campbell Scott, and Rhodes felt that Scott's legacy as a civil servant who was responsible for some of Canada's more controversial policy legacy onFirst Nations issues overshadowed his work as a pioneer of Canadian poetry.^[1]

Rhodes identifies asbisexual.^[2] His work was included inJohn Barton andBilleh Nickerson's 2007 anthologySeminal: The Anthology of Canada’s Gay Male Poets.^[2]
