A Poet’s Choice comprises new poems and a collection selected by the author from his earlier books of poetry. The Writer’s Digest, in awarding him a first prize for unrhymed poetry, had this to say: '[His] poetry offers gracefully presented traditional language, [is] well-ordered, rhythmic and concise. It avoids prosy explanations, poetized clichés, and the mundane sentimental phrases that can often mar a poem’s possible elegance.' Following such predecessors as Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Robert James Waller (whose self-published book Love in Black and White became the hit film The Bridges of Madison County), Politano has self-published all his books. This marks his fifteenth book in print. Politano tells us that ... '[His] poetry, like all art, should be enjoyed by the greatest number of people...a poem shouldn’t be so personal...so 'private' that no one except yourself or the person for whom you wrote it...can understand it well enough to be able to appreciate it.'

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.
