Bellowing in the Common is Karl Petersen’s first book. This collection bellows on behalf of the unheard things and people. Unheard and unseen, because they are too ordinary and common for human perception. His poetry shows how the mundane – whether it be a boat rocking at the dock or a garden squash – often rings with a voice louder and more startling than the extraordinary, if only we have ears to hear. Karl Petersen hears a bellowing in the common and, with a true poet’s vocation, awakens us with new ears to the same old tunes.
