The Courage Season is whenever life tests the individual. Key poems in this collection return the reader's attention to our individual emotional and moral struggles - pivotal moments of self-examination or self-delusion, our often simultaneous vulnerability and tenacity, our ability or inability to draw on our courage and sense of humour -- these are the areas of investigation, the subject matter, the climates of The Courage Season.
The Courage Season, Peter Bakowski's sixth full-length poetry collection, pays homage to: - the acrostic poem, the alphabet, aphorisms, the city of Melbourne, crime fiction, haiku, humour, letter-writing, modern history, the one line poem , pacifism, painting, pop and rock music, portraiture, proverbs, quotations, the sea, the sonnet, surrealism and travel.
In crafting his poems Peter Bakowski continues to be guided by the following quote: - "Use ordinary words to say extraordinary things" - Arthur Schopenhauer
