    About this ebook

    This is my sixth book of poems and prose, written over a period of over 70 years. I chose to call it “Erato’s Influence” because my poetry often came to me at night. I would wake up with a poem in my head and write it down. Since many were love poems, or thoughts about love, I attributed them to Erato.

    Author

    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.

      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.

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’
