Epigraph'Beyond the field of right doing and wrong doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.' Sir Rabindranath Tagore, Hindu Poet, 1861 - 1941Foreword She seemed to float up the steps, smiling bubbles of champagne and laughing with all her presence.'I heard you were here,' she handed me her guitar with an irresistible smile. 'I am so pleased.' Thus began my discovery that love comes in many disguises, and leaves in different ones. I had watched her for years from a conception of safety, and in this moment, she dissolved the line separating reason from unreasonableness, and I began a journey I must share so I may have some rest.What follows are selections from my journals, attempting to edit out the burdensome words of explanations and rationalizations while searching for guidance in the treacherous territory between the heart and the mind.After all, you will understand, or not, based on far more than my words. If my heart shares itself honestly, the gaps will be wonderful places to lose yourself. DedicationI dedicate this book to all the passionate souls who live unafraid of expressions of love, and with a special dedication to Adrienne Marie for encouraging me to share these private writings with the world.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘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....

  • O, Wind Thru Open Window
    Peter Burt
    In the darkness of the morning, a whistle in the pines drew me from my dreams, forcing me out of the comfort of bed, down to the dining room table to the paints and pencils left from the afternoon before. Dawn was winning over the stars to the East, blowing darkness westward, leaving an empty space for day to fill. The wind hurried past chasing the starlight, inviting ...
