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.
