    C.N. Cantelon

    I studied writing in the late 1960's at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, taking classes from William Stafford, Vern Rutsala and James Liddy, among others. I earned my BA in Literature there, then went on to get an MA in English Literature fom the University of Southern California. I began publishing individual poems in magazines and anthologies during that time. I didn't pursue publishing until 2014, when I had my first book, "Continuity," published. Since then, I have published three more books of poetry and prose with Trafford. "Mind Music" will probably be my last.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Happily Ever Alone

      Dec 15, 2019

      Growing up as a little blonde curly-haired, blue-eyed, innocent girl I surrounded myself with birds, animals and mud rather than humans. I would spend hours in my imagination rather than reality. As I basked in the energy of my make-believe life, I w

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ

      Pebbles

      Pebbles tossed into a pond

      Cause ripples extending beyond

      Anything the thrower intended.

      A lady I lightly befriended

      Grows in the circles of my affection

      Into something approaching perfection

      Until her aspect fills my mind –

      Nothing intended but, somehow, designed.

      I’ve found that her every action

      Results in my satisfaction.

      Love Again

      I have known love from time to time.

      I have dared to commit to someone.

      I have been a part of something sublime

      And have felt the pain of a love undone.

      I thought I could not love again

      Nor give so much of myself away.

      But love comes, unasked and unsought.

      I feel it again with you, today.

      39790.png

      Adjustments

      At first, this constant change worried me.

      I was confused and discouraged, constantly.

      Myriad adjustments seemed the rule.

      Often, I came out feeling the fool.

      I traveled to Oregon, land of my birth,

      To recapture a sense of my own worth.

      I walked on the beach and heeded the wind.

      I believe it focused me, again.

      The sea sends waves upon the shore.

      Every ebb takes away. Every flow adds more.

      It never kisses the same soft beach.

      It persists, at no time out of reach.

      I returned to show I understand

      How we know so little in the end.

      The ebb and flow of love,

      Enjoying the preview?
