A collection of seventy-seven poems by John P. Portelli author of seven books of poetry, Here Was reflects Portelli’s nomadic adventures and travels in three different continents from Ramallah to Bologna, from Toronto to Rabat, and from Lisbon to Istanbul. A gripping collection that mixes existential elements with the call for social justice, and the recollections of gone by days.
Here Was was one of three finalists for poetry in the Canadian Book Club Awards.
