Lockhart’s work has been supported by numerous Canada Council for the Arts grants and Ontario Arts Council grants for his fiction and his poetry. He has also been repeatedly nominated for the Pushcart Prize.
In 2013, he co-founded Urban Farmhouse Press (see The Famous Windsorite entry for UFP) which publishes writers from all over North America as well as offering writer’s workshops. He is the poetry editor for the Windsor review and has been since 2019.
