Finalist, Archibald Lampman Award
In this lush collection of linguistic concatenations, Peter Richardson lines up the quotidian and the metaphysical, the personal and the fictional, and assigns equal standing to their rich complications. Whether his cast members take the ironic stance of an apostate jazz pianist or the hardball approach of a recovering stand-up comic, they invite us on an exuberant exploration of self that rewards multiple readings.
Ranging from a literate vernacular to high diction, the language of Bit Parts for Fools hints at a new hunger driving the poet’s quirky observations and confirms once again that Richardson is a fine craftsman ― all confidence and mischief, “whistling from scuffmark to scuffmark.”

Peter Richardson is the author of three collections of poetry: Sympathy for Couriers, which won the 2008 A.M. Klein Poetry Award, An ABC of Belly Work, and A Tinker's Press. His poems have also appeared in magazines and journals such as Descant, Poetry, Sonora Review, the Malahat Review, Poetry Ireland Review, and the Rialto (UK). He lives in Gatineau, QC.
In this resonant collection of unbridled fancy, Peter Richardson's characters hunger for soulful connections in the midst of bedlam and loss. Ranging from a literate vernacular to high diction and low humour, these poems confirm that Richardson is a craftsman of the finest kind, all confidence and mischief, "whistling from scuffmark to scuffmark" as he traipses across the page and into the psyche.
