Clive Holden

Clive Holden is a Canadian multimedia artist and poet from Victoria, British Columbia. Holden's best-known and publicized project to date is the "film poem" series Trains of Winnipeg, a collection of 14 short films featuring Holden's poetry with musical accompaniment by Christine Fellows, John K. Samson, Jason Tait, Steve Bates and Emily Goodden. In it is included the haunting short, 18000 Dead In Gordon Head, in which Holden recalls the shooting of a young girl in Gordon Head, a suburb of Victoria.

The '18,000' in the title refers to the average number of murders a television viewer has seen by the time they reach the age of sixteen years.
