In this collection of poems, author Don J. Metivier employs swirling, evocative wordplay to create mystical landscapes that summon images of the natural world and the human condition. There are poems of romance, spirituality, emotion, story and personal experience.

Metivier expresses the duality of light and darkness in his verse, believing both are necessary for us to achieve balance within ourselves. It would be remiss to simply paint the world beneath the guise of a pink cloud when thunderclaps often interfere.

During the three-year period O Circo was written, Metivier has experienced both the positives and negatives of our human existence and he shares both in his emotive prose.

He calls for us to reconnect with nature and flow like a river through the challenges of life. As importantly, we should give thanks for our smallest blessings and admire the changing of the seasons and the romantic whimsy of a star-filled night. Through his strong poetic voice and writing style, Metivier paves the way for his audience to be transported to a higher place within themselves.
