When September Comes
Peter Jailall continues his search for the place called home in his third volume of poetry, exploring the "open, dangerous" landscape of a post-September 11th world.

This Healing Place
Peter Jailall, teacher, storyteller and poet, expresses great passion for the English language and for the quality of life of all Canadians. With this, his first published volume of poetry, he takes a much-deserved place alongside Canada's most significant writers of colour.

Peter's empathy for people and his clear view of what deserves anger don't contradict each other but sharpen the stories."" - Joan Vinall Cox teaches reading at Sheridan College. ""Peter has shared his poems with me privately and I have been in audiences of teachers as he read his poems out loud. In both situations he strikes an emotional impact with his words and messages."" - Larry Swartz, Educator.
