Beyond Life, to the North is a collection of brief inner explorations rather than stories in the traditional sense. They do not seek an event, but a state. They do not tell what happens, but what remains when everything comes to a halt.These are dreamlike, suspended texts, inhabited by solitary, attentive characters who move along the thin boundary between reality and perception. Time stretches or dissolves, space loses its precise coordinates, and what matters is not action but emotional experience: a breath, a memory, a glimmer of light, a distant sound. These short pieces offer neither answers nor easy comfort. Instead, they place the reader before a necessary pause-a moment of withdrawal from everyday frenzy-where themes emerge such as existential weariness, the search for meaning, the fragility of happiness, and the awareness of pain as an integral part of life.They are stories that do not demand immediate understanding. They must be passed through, in order to feel what each sentence leaves behind.They are meant to be read slowly, the way one observes a landscape or listens to a thought surfacing unexpectedly. What lingers is not a meaning, but a sensation-an emotion: the feeling of having stopped for a moment, long enough to feel alive again, to come back into focus.Beyond Life, to the North is not a diary, but an observation zone of the human condition.

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.

    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....
