"Carla Coles's first three books - Zarf, Wont, and Pore - have been out of print for too long.

Now, finally, they have been collected in this new edition to be experienced by readers again.

""Words are the waveforms of our beating hearts,

silent until captured on pages by skilled poets like

Coles. Expect to find yourself in these pages.""

Dayna Manning, Singer-Songwriter

PORE: One last oddly specific collection of poems for a tiny niche audience. Pore: pronounced \p�r\ verb Meaning: to be absorbed in the reading or study of. From the Middle English pouren, to ponder. The last of the ""Caf�"" book series."

Carla dwells in the magical realm of Stratford, Ontario. She admits to being a little in love with her community. She is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist, author, and entrepreneur. Her imaginary hobbies include ukulele enthusiast, time travel, and self care.This is her sixth book of poetry. Several of her books, much to Carla's surprise, were number one in Canadian poetry on Amazon for a brief time. Carla is a member of Stratford's Art in the Park. Carla, by her own accounts, is not a believable character. She has an unnatural fondness for pudding and always carries a cake fork with her in case of just such emergencies. Queries on whether she wants another coffee are always answered with an enthusiastic yes. Carla likes to think she is hilarious ... Carla's friends have said they think it's endearing that she finds herself hilarious.
