My book is a lot of different poems I have written. I was born in east Los Angeles on August 7, 1954. My parents were Mary Ann and Justin Prudeaux. I was the third youngest of 6 kids. My parents divorced when I was 3 years old, after my youngest sister was born. My mother moved us to Massachusetts after the earthquake hit in the San Fernando Valley, where we lived in 1971. I lived there til I married. I had 4 sons, 2 before we married, and 2 with my husband. I had an abusive husband (he would move us from state to state) and in 1993, I left him, soon after I divorced him. I bought my own home, where I raised my sons. I worked 3 jobs to keep food, electric and our house payments. I kept our home for 9 years. I got sick and I lost my home, then I moved back to Massachusetts from Tucson. I’ve been writing since I was 9 years old. I had the best schooling. I went to Catholic school for my whole life. I’ve been to 2 colleges. I’ve since retired from illness. I have diabetes very bad with neuropathy in my feet and hands. I reside with my son and his young son. I have 13 grandchildren from my 3 oldest sons, my baby has none. I write just about everyday and its the love of my life. I thank God for giving me that talent.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
