If we are to live in this world and share in its experience, we must have patience. In McLuhan's Canary, Bruce Meyer examines the questions of how we wait to find love, why we love and show courage to the people and things that are important to us, and how we find purpose in the small, commonplace, and almost insignificant things that help us to endure with dignity. In these poems, paeans to the virtue of patience, Meyer listens as the world sings to us and awakens us to the perpetuity and strength in which we live and love.

Industry Reviews
Speak to me life. Please say yes. Bruce Meyers new collection McLuhans Canary is a rich wandering in the night groves of lyricism. He gives us carefully crafted poems that explore the chances of loves survival in a world that passes away. Over the years he has created a large and varied body of work; these new poems are splendid addition to all that he has already achieved." -- Richard Greene
"Bruce Meyer, one of Canadas most protean, multi-talented living literary artists is a writer who revels in the dance of words and the exploration of the lunatic beauty of the world, his latest collection of poems, McLuhans Canary. Touched by wonder and praise, these songs are an oasis of the creative mind and spirit where the heart can find rest -- a much needed antidote for our cynical and jaded age." -- James Clarke
"The man is a Wordmeister. Buy this book!" -- Barry Callaghan
"Simplicity that's the signature, the register, of Mastery. Bruce Meyers profound expertise in this most difficult art, his deft achievement, sounds resonant meaning in every syllable, every stroke of ink or key. These lyrics are as perfectly rounded as pearls and just as gleaming. McLuhans Canary seems a-warble with echoes of Wallace Stevens and Earle Birney, both Beat-like now, and equally transcendent and terra firma-bound. Heres Excellence thats totally at ease with its incarnation." --George Elliott Clarke, 7th Parliamentary Poet Laureate of Canada (2016-17)
