THE FATHOMLESS TIDES OF THE HEART
CAROLYN MARY KLEEFELD, POET AND ARTIST
a biography by Peter Thabit Jones
“It is no small matter to write the development of a poet, artist, and thinker of Carolyn Mary Kleefeld’s stature, yet Peter Thabit Jones’s biography rises to the challenge, offering insight not only into her voice and vision, but into the dynamics of creativity itself – its tensions, complexities, mysteries.” —Arthur Williamson, PhD. Author of Apocalypse Then: Prophecy and the Making of the Modern World.
Carolyn and Peter at the Henry Miller Library, Big Sur, California, for the American launch of the biography, which was hosted by the Library's Executive Director Magnus Toren (May, 2023)

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
