A CANCER NOTEBOOK/Poems by Peter Thabit Jones
Foreword by Patricia Holt.
In “A Cancer Notebook,” Peter expresses, viscerally, purely, his emotions and thoughts while he is living with the reality of cancer. Being a poet, he does so in a way which can be integrated into another being directly, shattering the isolation, and giving each person a better understanding and acceptance of what they are going through--a precious step toward healing, emotionally and physically. This is the profound gift of Peter’s book.
The poems are such a totality, each word adding to the whole, building within themselves to an integrated power and poignancy. “Women’s Ward” and “Words” are two such poems, among many others.
From the Foreword by Patricia Holt.

NEW FROM THE SEVENTH QUARRY PRESS
Where Shadows Stir, a superb new book of poetry by Welsh poet Byron Beynon. A poet whose experience and intelligence shine throughout a collection of carefully crafted poems. Byron’s poetic voice is original and one that offers a variety of subjects, each one showing his masterly control of language. (Peter Thabit Jones)
Comments on previous books by Byron:
“Beynon achieves a lyrical-style beauty.”—Duncan Glen in Lines Review
“The poems sit mellow in perfect space …read them slowly, let their words stay with you. That’s what poetry does best.”—Peter Finch in The Insider
