Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2022. Previously published as Over the Shoulder, bibliographic poetry (LukivPress Online, Quesnel, BC, 2007). An excerpt Arctic Killer Polar bear: Hiding, With a paw, Your black nose (Ingenious) As you stalk prey. You're eidolic, A Portuguese man-of-war, To the flesh You eat. Photographer-pilots "Captured" you In your white desert: Click. But you, In an 8 by 10 paradox, Weren't there, Like a Hollywood vampire Without a virtual Image. Even infrared fails To capture you Who, Like a black hole, Harvests solar heat That black skin Absorbs. Ultraviolet film Exposes you: A great, Black amoeba, As unphotogenic as The small, White seals (They too are Heat-absorbing miracles) That you eat. You stalk men- You, The most beautiful Of all bears (Some say)- Just as Nimrod Stalked men In war-play. In a zoo-cage You're adored By awe-struck children ("He's so cute!"), But in the wild, Face to face, You're a gargoyle With teeth That kill. Various poems in this collection have appeared in one or more of Authors (Canada), Green's Magazine (Canada), Word is Out (Canada), canadian content (Canada), *spark (Canada), CHALLENGER international (Canada), A Journal of Contemporary Canadian Poetry and Poetics (Canada), Waterways: Poetry in the Mainstream (USA), Hidden Oak Poetry Journal (USA), So Young! (USA), The Poet's Corner (USA), Neovictorian Cochlea (USA), Poetry Magazine (USA), Poetic Voices (USA), The Journal (England), DeepSouth (New Zealand), The English Teachers' Online Network of South Africa , Artslink (South Africa), Electric Acorn (Ireland), and Redoubt (Australia).
