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.
All Over Once Again
All Over Once Again is a collection of 160 “poems and effects” written and devised by John Robert Colombo during the calendar year 2021. The “poems and effects” lead the reader through the labyrinth of that single and sullen year, recording highs and lows, ups and downs, its numerous incidents, subjects, setbacks, and considerations, some personal, some public. This book is an unusual publication, individualistic in style and subject, and the eighteenth “annual volume” of JRC’s unusual series of contemporary compositions.
ISBN-10 1-894540-95-6. Cover design by Bill Andersen. Paperback format, 6 inches x 8.5 inches, 124 pages, 2022. $30.00 plus postage and handling.
