Animated by the work of Caravaggio, Hendrik Slegtenhorst's poems inquire, what is a pursuit of right action? Caravaggio, the murderous, brilliant 16th-century painter, depicted the decapitation of John the Baptist at the moment the act is botched: jugular severed, head attached, the saint in agony - an exemplification of humanity's predilections. Early on, Slegtenhorst accepted Somerset Maugham's admonition of the error of adopting a course of action thought to be right, even though we knew it could not bring us happiness, ever. This is the central theme to Caravaggio's Dagger, a distillation of poems from several earlier books that measures aspects of the author's own life and awareness as a distinct individual animated by Canada and culture and guided by integrity and reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 06, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47942715408605,"sku":"9781771800150","price":18.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/MqYb7L7qf39781771800150.webp?v=1779259945","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/caravaggios-dagger-a-pursuit-of-right-action-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
