GOING WITHOUT PEGGY
by Karl Stewart Kline
His most recent book, Going Without Peggy, is currently in the Pulitzer Prize
competition in two categories, both as verse and as a biography. Winners and
finalists will be announced in the spring of 2006.
ISBN
Publisher
Epilepsy, a mutual disability since childhood, was the unlikely catalyst that
engendered a lifelong romance. A mutual understanding and commitment that
amazed other people, even twenty years after we had first met and led to our
elopement against her parents’ wishes. A seventeen-year honeymoon that
made the hard times and heavy loads easy to bear, knowing that we had all we
needed as long as we had each other. Then there was breast cancer, a drawn-
out and hard-fought illness that we couldn’t defeat, facing death at the end just as
we had faced life—together and hand in hand. Romance, devotion, disability,
death, depression, bereavement and recovery… all words that oversimplify and
understate the struggles and physical realities that are all part of what may be
seen in retrospect as one of the greatest love stories of our time. A love story that
is ongoing and reflects the undying devotion of her surviving husband. Peggy
always believed that we were reunited lovers from a former lifetime and that
“Greensleeves” was our song. Perhaps we will be reunited and “lost lovers will
be lovers again.” Prose and poetry come together in this volume to tell a story of
love like no other.
POISON PEARLS
by Karl S. Kline
Poison Pearls is a disturbing, gritty exploration of modern slavery, human trafficking and
prostitution, often as seen through the eyes of the victims. The author has been motivated
and inspired by friendships and correspondences that he has had with women around the
world, some of whom he fears may have been lost to the trade in one or another of its many
forms. Perhaps he cannot rescue them, but he can be a voice for them and expose some of
the evil that has befallen them. There is a warning here and if it is taken to heart by even
one prospective victim, then it is a life that has been saved and that one life is enough to
make this book worthwhile. If we are so fortunate as to have this book sell well and be well
distributed, perhaps it will affect many lives and become a weapon in the fight for those who
would live free.
Already the author of two books, Karl Stuart Kline is returning with a new and different look
at his talents as a poet.
His first book, Poison Pearls, was a dark look at the modern tragedy of human trafficking,
inspired by his own experiences, correspondences and travels to Russia and Kyrgyzstan,
where he experienced firsthand the wonderful hospitality of the citizens of the former soviet
republics as well as the circumstances under which they are living.
BRAIN STEMMED ROSES
by Karl S. Kline
Brain Stemmed Roses is divided into six sections that include thought provoking pieces
about writing poetry, early works from the 60s and 70s, a continuation of the steamy Going
Without Peggy, poetry about his romance and friendships in Eastern Europe, a section
dedicated solely to his Russian wife of five years (who was too shy for a book to center
around her!), and several of his best, but otherwise unrelated to each other works.

The author argues that
People’s Poetry in Canada is
dead, Norman Bethune was
spiritual forebear to Milton
Acorn, and Thomas D’Arcy
McGee provided the signpost
to the True North before
Canada was confederated.
This essay is part of a
collection tentatively titled
Beyond Bethune: People's
Poetry and Milton Acorn’s
Metaphor for the Canadian
Fate.
