Poetry. In HAMMERTOWN, poet Peter Culley re-imagines his home town of Nanaimo, British Columbia, not as it is, but as it might be imagined in the mind of a Parisian who had rarely left his city. This is Culley's fifth book of poetry. THE CLIMAX FOREST is also available from SPD.
Poet and critic Peter Culley has lived in Nanaimo since 1972. He is the author of The Climax Forest. His extensive writing on such artists as Stan Douglas, Roy Arden, Kelly Wood, and Geoffrey Farmer have made him one of the foremost critics of the burgeoning Vancouver art worlds.
