Peter's new book of poems, "A Cancer Notebook", has been published by Cross-Cultural Communications, New York, and The Seventh Quarry Press, Wales. Here is a brief section from the foreword by Patricia Holt:

In “A Cancer Notebook,” Peter expresses, viscerally, purely, his emotions and thoughts while he is living with the reality of cancer. Being a poet, he does so in a way which can be integrated into another being directly, shattering the isolation, and giving each person a better understanding and acceptance of what they are going through--a precious step toward healing, emotionally and physically. This is the profound gift of Peter’s book.

The poems are such a totality, each word adding to the whole, building within themselves to an integrated power and poignancy. “Women’s Ward” and “Words” are two such poems, among many others.
