Alex Gavrilovich


Alex Gavrilovich was born in 1972 in Lviv, Ukraine and in 1977 moved with his parents to Israel. There he learned Hebrew and his first poems were in that language as well as in Russian, his mother tongue.
In 1988 he immigrated to Canada and graduated high school in Toronto, still writing mainly in Hebrew, but slowly switching to English as his main language of expression.
In 1994 he gained his B.A. in political science from York University in Toronto and in 1998 graduated from law school at the University of Ottawa after 3 years of studies.
In 2000 he moved to Vancouver where he wrote my first novella "The Sky of God" and finished a collection of short stories that he began in 1998 in Toronto. He also completed two books of poetry and currently working on a book of philosophy "The Enlightenment of Adam".
