The poems that have been brought together in this electrifying volume are stylish, yet endlessly surprising explorations of friendship and passion, family history and personal mythology. Spanning twenty-seven years and representing the best poems from Ondaatje's hard-to-find earlier collections, The Cinnamon Peeler is a masterpiece of intelligence and ardor, informed by rueful wit, sensitivity to nature, and an exultant love of language.
