Softcover, 40 pp, 210 x 148mm
FRIDAY PRAYERS is a chapbook of five new poems from Tony Beyer.
“Island time’ is a meditation on impermance and identity (“we who so loved the world / are its destroyers’), while the title poem considers complicity in the aftermath of the Christchurch mosque killings & is followed by ‘Crusade’, an account of a rugby match between the Chiefs & the Crusaders.
Tony Beyer operates out of Taranaki, New Zealand. His recent publications include the long poem 'Sand fire', online at Mudlark
https://www.unf.edu/mudlark/chaps/mudlark67/beyer.html
and Anchor Stone (Cold Hub Press), which was a finalist in the poetry category of the 2018 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.
. . . to ignore
or degrade
the common humanity
of a different other
is not small
to use the sling-off phrases
comedic accents
belittling esoteric garb
none of these
is small
I know I
and those I love
living and dead
have done these things
and it must cease
from 'Friday Prayers' © 2019 Tony Beyer
Some comments on FRIDAY PRAYERS:
It's a hard hitting book. Worth doing, what a chapbook should be. ––Mark Pirie
The title poem is particularly chilling, as it seems to be what we do so much of. ––John Denny
In its production alone the process of creating a book has reached the level of an art form. ––Bob Orr
