Kenneth Canatsey

The World Is Closed Kenneth Canatsey

Kenneth Canatsey lives in Agoura Hills with his wife of 33 years. A year of lockdowns and political roller-coasting provided inspiration for these poems, which are by turns satirical, reflective and sometimes even calming. A student of history, he is acutely aware of Voltaire's observation that political leaders who can convince you to believe absurdities can also persuade you to commit atrocities, as recent events have born out, and poignantly asks "Must the only thing we learn from history be that we never learn from history?"Canatsey's other works include 'Silk Road: the Journey', 'Confessions of a Friendly Anarchist', 'A Bilingual Edition of Poems by St. John of the Cross', and 'The Daimon Call', available on Amazon.
