He published his first poetry chapbook, Night Haul, Morning Set, in 2002.[4] The collection was then included in his first commercially published book, Flux, the following year.[4] He has since published the poetry collections Windstorm[1] and Regeneration Machine, and the novel The Year of Broken Glass.[5] Some sources have also incorrectly credited him with the novel Sins of the Fishermen, which was in fact written by an unrelated American lawyer.

Denham resides in Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia,[6] where he has worked as a commercial fisherman.[7] He studied creative writing at the University of Victoria.[8]
