Permit me, if you will, to invite you to the land of plenty! Plenty of this, plenty of that. Plenty of ’going to the mat’ for the cause célèbre du jour, or for something less. Plenty of ’bullshit!’ Plenty of pet peeves and more. And plenty of moments where you’ll wonder, ’Now, did that just happen?’Ain’t This a Bitch? by J Sam takes you on a journey through the highs, lows, and in-betweens of navigating the all-too-common ’isms’ that constantly challenge us. Indulge in every stanza and go beyond seeing yourself as a ’victim.’ Let J Sam guide you, journey by journey, irony by irony, and smackdown by smackdown, through the ’poetic justice’ of living in, and loving, America. This is the ’land of the free’ where bravery about ’difference’ meets its adversary: a beast, two-legged and ferocious, pandering to the irrelevant histories of less benevolent men.Come one, come all, into this thrall, where complexity resides in the truths about the ’socio-politics’ leading you to these pages. Pages that never fail to deliver, ’on point!’ Pages that reject the notion of wallowing in the mud of ’pretense,’ and instead, celebrate the beauty of the word in its magnificent expression!This poet offers you contemporary and timeless literary excellence, not easily perceived by the eye (naked in its rush to judgment) nor the ear (given over to ’the squeaky wheel’) in a nation under siege by the greasy freedoms of verse.

    ‘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.

  • 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....
