Chinese Chamber Music

by Fred Candelaria

tagged: canadian
Description

Fred Candelaria's sixth collection of poetry, Chinese Chamber Music evokes a world of tradition, art and great ceremony, a world that excites "blinded touch" and that leads readers "to read the unwritten." These poems present the world as music, not as problems to be solved. Professor Emeritus at Simon Fraser University, Candelaria founded and then edited The West Coast Review for nearly a quarter of a century.
