Gareth Bate's Deep Field painting on the cover of  new Ryerson Poetry Chapbook "For The Infinite" by William Conklin.

FOR THE INFINITE

Radiance of the sun
in an illimitable sky
reflects in every growing thing,
weighs its luxurious foliage
and bursting energy:
alive, vibrant, laughing
on summer breezes blowing
over this sylvan land.
Everything . . . and a tree
tops it all. Up on a hill
it lifts its head, its limbs
above and over
for the infinite!

Ryerson Poetry Chapbooks

Ronald P. Frye and Company is now re-issuing the Ryerson Poetry Chapbook Series, beginning this September, with the release of 25 from the series. As with the originals each volume will be limited to a run size of 250 copies, hand numbered for authenticity. In keeping with Lorne Pierce’s original vision each volume will feature specially commissioned cover art by a young artist. This reprint series will feature a survey of early twenty-first century young Canadian artists paired with the original poetry.

With artwork printed on brilliant white Classic Laid Paper and poetry printed on a smooth natural colored interior, the books are beautiful to behold. Finally this once rare experience is offered again to the public. Sized slightly larger than pocket-size, the chapbooks merit time well spent coursing through their pages. Representing a labour of love Ronald P. Frye is proud to present the Ryerson Poetry Chapbook reprint series.
