Psalms of Bone & Sinew - Paperback
by Peter Cantelon (Author)
Entitled Psalms of Bone & Sinew this collection of poetry is meant to evoke the messy reality that is life (at least life as lived by the author) evoking the idea of psalms as words lifted in praise and grief, horror and wonder.
Cantelon started writing poetry when he was 17 years old when he was discovering amazing writers at the Bookshelf Café in Guelph, Ontario where he first heard the great Canadian author Timothy Findley read (and got his first author's signed copy of a book). Cantelon has had a passion for writing and poetry and has been writing continuously for more than 36 years now. If there is a single, uninterrupted thread in his life it is writing. Cantelon's poetry reflects his attention to meter, rhythm and structure. Most of his poems are free verse with a mix of rhyming and what he calls free-rhyme (a mix of free verse and rhyme in a single poem). Cantelon's influences have been many and diverse including but not limited to Margaret Atwood, Irving Layton, Sappho, Charles Bukowski, Edgar Allan Poe, John Donne, and more recently international poets such as Japanese poet Kenji Miyazawa and Persian poet Forough Farrokhzad. His poems have been published in a various and sundry journals and magazines including Poetry Scotland, Synaesthesia, Bricolage, Geez and the award-winning Lakeview International Journal of Literature and Arts. Cantelon lives with his wife Megan in Morden, Manitoba, Canada.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
