About this ebook
A poetry collection roughly grouped around the motif of lines, much of this collection was written in 2006 and some was performed live as a part of the Creative Quill Bangkok Tour in 2006-7.
Poems range from the opening long piece, that takes an in-depth look at "lines" throughout time, to poems drenched in love, both good love and bad. Existentialist themes are featured in some works, and some poems reveal aspects of the natural world.
Grant J Venables
I am a Canadian who lives and writes in Southeast Asia. Presently I work in Kuala Lumpur, teaching English Literature. I was born and raised in and around Shuswap Lake in south-central British Columbia, but I have also lived in northern Alberta. I went to school at Grande Prairie Regional College, then I moved to Edmonton Alberta, and attended the University of Alberta. From there I moved to Bangkok, Thailand and furthered my studies with Michigan State University. I am married to a wonderful woman, Kaeo (who is on the cover of Bangkok—Just Under the Skin). I have three sons, Kritsana, Heathcliff-Manx, and Keats J. We keep a small farm in Thailand where we raise organic fruit and produce, and ducks...a great number of ducks.When not reading, writing, or teaching, I spend time with my family, my friends, my ducks, and my trees. Trees provide a certain sanity and calm in a world so often too concerned with the insane rush to destroy itself.
