The result is intoxicating. " Never trust the hand that bites you/once retracted/it will do it again." This is what compelling art does - it jumps up and bites you. In both poems and prose, Conners gives us a good nip and we walk away happy.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>- Thom Ward, author of Various Orbits</B></I></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I>A thunder of pulsating words and razor-sharp images cohesively fuse into a vigorous and potent mosaic of contemporary writing in While in the World. This organic and indomitable collection is undeniably a blast for the senses. Peter Conners is fully aware of the power of contemporary language, and demonstrates his ability to command phrases to stand for an agile and emphatic growl. He incessantly allows his reader to participate in a healthy taste of foresight, and does not deny poetic flavors, social consciousness, or acute realism. </I></div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>- Ave Jeanne, Editor, Black Bear Review</B></I></div> <bR> <div> From the book:</div> <bR> <div> <B>While in the World</B></div> <bR> <div> we walked in your garden</div> <div>    trees fat with pregnant plums</div> <div> green apples wide mint leaves - the mint</div> <div>       leaves you plucked pressed</div> <div> between two fingers - inhaled - and still</div> <div>    wedged between teeth & tongue</div> <div> they lasted only moments, grandfather</div> <bR> <div>  </div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >While in the World</FONT><I> </I>is a 76 page paperback, hand-sewn, with flat spine - <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Comic Sans MS" > </FONT>$13.00</div> <bR> <div> TO ORDER  <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >While in the World O</FONT>N-LINE </div> <div> <B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="While in the World"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="03-5"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="13.00"> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> </form>      </B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/images/view_cart.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="display" value="1"> </form>  </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> To order by mail send total price</div> <div> plus $1.25 Shipping and Handling</div> <div> ($1.75 in Canada; $3.25 other countries)</div> <div> for each address sent to. </div> <bR> <div> Send orders to:</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  </div> <div> FootHills Publishing</div> <div> PO Box 68</div> <div> Kanona, NY 14856</div> <bR> <div> <B>Thank you for your support! </B></div> <bR> <bR> </BODY>
