If we are to live in this world and share in its experience, we must have patience. In McLuhan's Canary, Bruce Meyer examines the questions of how we wait to find love, why we love and show courage to the people and things that are important to us, and how we find purpose in the small, commonplace, and almost insignificant things that help us to endure with dignity. In these poems, paeans to the virtue of patience, Meyer listens as the world sings to us and awakens us to the perpetuity and strength in which we live and love.

In A Book of Bread, his twelfth collection of poems, Bruce Meyer celebrates the banquet that is our lives, loves, joys, and fears. And though we may not live by bread alone, in the language of loaves Meyer celebrates our daily bread and the ways in which it nourishes our souls." -- Page 4 of cover.
