Charge

These poems were originally published under the same title in 1982 by Fiddlehead Poetry Books, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. It is possible that some of those paperbacks (ISBN 0-86492-020-2) are still available through used-book services. 

Charge was my first physical book of poetry. Later ones were Into Nests, Each Perfect as an Inner Ear! (1985, Owl's Head Press, Riverview, New Brunswick, ISBN 0-920635-01-6), Where the Fields End (1993, Owl's Head Press, Alma, New Brunswick, ISBN 0-920635-08-3), and Outside the Event Horizon (2002, Owl's Head Press, Alma, New Brunswick, ISBN 0-920635-14-8 [paperback] and ISBN 0-920635-15-6 [bound]).

For a number of years my poems appeared fairly often in literary magazines, journals, and anthologies. 

All four poetry books are now in regular digital format but Charge is the first to be produced as a text/audio book. It is my intention to offer the others in this format.

I have also digitally published a book of more recent poems––Repatriation (2012, ISBN 978-0-9881188-3-6). I hope to offer it, too, in text/audio format.

I hope you get pleasure from your experience of these poems.
