Black Canvas
My friends said
fuck you
it's just a book
a book you wrote
and I said
no
this is me
bleeding through pages
like the trees
they used to be
bled a dark sap
that turned to ink
with which
I wrote
my soul.

This book comprises 20 poems.
With his début poetry book Black Canvas, Fernando Pfaltzgraff has created a poetry anthology that reminded me of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan in their depressive phase; even nowadays there can be occasional beauty in bluntness. While reading, I heard Leonard Cohen singing Suzanne in my mind - this carried me from one poem to the next. My favourite poem in Fernando Paltzgraff's book is Howling Wind.
This is a book for you if you read poetry that does not embellish, and shows the author's point-blank thoughts.
