ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Peter John Cormier

Peter John Cormier has been writing since his elementary school years, turning memories, relationships, faith, humor, heartache, and hard-earned lessons into words that stay with you.

Born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island as the second oldest of seven children, Peter grew up surrounded by creativity, craftsmanship, family, and tradition. His mother’s gifts as a pianist, artist, and baker and his father’s life as a craftsman, carpenter, welder, farrier, and registered nurse shaped his appreciation for both imagination and perseverance.

His professional life has taken him through hospitality, sales, and healthcare, but writing has remained the constant thread. Rings Around the Roses brings that lifetime of observation and experience together through Peter’s distinctive blend of prosetry, prosetic poetry, lyrical prose, and select sonnets.

Book Synopsis

Some writing comes from imagination. Some comes from experience. Rings Around The Roses draws from both.

Across this collection, Peter John Cormier turns moments from a life lived through changing seasons, relationships, places, mistakes, memories, and hard-earned lessons into poetry that does not always follow conventional rules. His prosetic approach gives each piece room to move—with rhythm, imagery, wordplay, confession, humor, and emotion working together on the page.

The collection spans decades of writing and captures a writer continually examining the world around him and the person he has become. Some pieces are intimate. Others are playful, restless, romantic, philosophical, or raw. Together, they create a portrait of a life seen through memory and expressed through words.
