About the author

C.F. Ryal has been writing poetry for twenty-five years. His work has appeared in manuscripts and small publications since the late 1980s, including the chapbook Sevens, and pieces of hate published by New Jerusalem Books of Vancouver, Canada in 1991.

Ryal’s main influences are European and Japanese Modernism, Central European literature, and non-realist writers such as Poe, Borges, Gombrowicz, and Abe Kobo. His tone is delicate and reserved; his themes balance familiar and exotic experiences and characters.
