'Is It Me Can You Tell?' presents author's latest poetry, discusses childhood, love, betrayal

WADENA, Minn. - Inspiration can come from just about anywhere. For many poets, it is drawn from daily life, nature or one's culture. For author Peter Norris Patrick Harold Peveto, it comes primarily from his childhood. In his new collection of poetry, "Is It Me Can you Tell?: A Book Of Poetry" (published by AuthorHouse), Peveto invites readers to take a peek into his childhood experiences, loves lost and politics.

Many of the poems in Pevetos' "Is It Me Can You Tell?" "deal with the emotions I experienced during my childhood, as there were some uncomfortable occurrences," Peveto writes.

Despite some of the difficult or dark occurrences in his childhood, Peveto is a firm believer in finding the "beauty" in the "ugly," which he hopes to get across to readers through his poems.

An excerpt from the poem "Starr," taken from "Is It Me Can you Tell?":

 

"The shortness of breath causes great despair,

Overwhelmed by passion just by touching your hair,

The smoothness of silk was wished upon your skin,

And through journeyed explorations the touching begins"
