Contents The site lists more than two hundred books, from the earliest to the latest, and it identifies those titles that are still in print. [Total of all books in July 1, 2016: 231 titles.] Those books should be ordered directly from their original publishers (including C&C). In addition to lists of books, there are essays on various topics. Check the Subjects of Interest category with its drop-down menus. Also check the Blog where I explain what I am currently doing.
Online Poetry The texts of six of JRC’s poems appear online in the immense website known as “Representative Poetry” hosted by the University of Toronto Library. This link will take you to them. These are earlier poems composed by JRC.
No Longer Now
No Longer Now consists of the “poems and effects” composed during the year 2020 by John Robert Colombo. The present volume ishis sixteenth “poetry annual,” so these volumes act as a good guide to what has changed and what has remained constant over the same number of years, especially during the difficult year 2020. Within these pages will be found some seventy-four “poems and effects” about more subjects than the reader might imagine. They came forth come the pencil, the pen, the computer, and the mind, imagination, and emotions of this most prolific of Canada’s creative spirits.
