The poems in this collection are drawn from a black vinyl binder containing verses handwritten on lined loose-leaf paper. The binder has been virtually untouched since 1987 when the poet died at the age of 36. The poems in this volume are selected by Mark Bohnen's sister, Donnie, who was his appreciative and supportive reader during his lifetime. These deeply felt verses touch on a variety of themes and encompass a wide range of moods, including love and loss, joy and pain, defiance and acceptance. Some are quite funny; some very sad.

About the Author

Mark Bohnen was born and grew up in Toronto. A spirited and imaginative youngster, he constructed play forts and fantasies, and nurtured passions in science, music, literature and the game of chess. Mark read widely, everything from Superman comics to Kafka. He enjoyed singing too, with a repertoire ranging from standards to themes from Beethoven symphonies. Throughout his high school and university years (graduating from University of Toronto in 1972) and his career in market research, Mark wrote poetry--deeply felt pieces, characterized by passion and wit and a deft and original way with language. He never attempted to publish, and shared his work with only a few. His handwritten manuscripts were filed in a black binder which, after his death in 1987, remained with his sister, and which after several decades, is the source of the selections in this volume.
