Some of his poems were published in The New Canon: An Anthology of Canadian Poetry (Carmine Starnino, 2006).[2]

The opera, composed by British Columbian songwriter Veda Hille, toured British Columbia schools throughout 2009.[4]

Connors Prize for Poetry for his "Broken Ground", chosen "the finest poem over 200 lines published in The Paris Review" in 2000.[5] "Broken Ground" was included in Patton's first book of poetry, Ox, which was published by Véhicule Press in September 2007.[6]Ox was selected as a finalist for the 2008 Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize.[7]
