Conversations in Pan was fun to write. The idea came to me after I lost a job that I loved, and, which gave me financial stability. My life went into a free fall. So to save my sanity and to try to find my direction again, I turned to one of my special and sacred gifts, writing poetry.This book grounded me. The process of writing about an instrument that I love gave me purpose, determination, discipline. It took me out of the depths of despair and forced me to reaffirm my faith in God. I learned so much while writing these poems. God also placed some special people in my life. Had I not lost that job, our paths would have never crossed. A whole new world had opened up to me in writing and completing this book. I am so much richer for it. Rich in spirit, in sound friendship, mentally able and stable to accomplish and conquer all! The friends I have gained when this opportunity presented itself will be in my life forever. They have made me a much better individual. Thank you! May the Almighty bless you with grace, mercy, and favor!The purpose of this book is to enlighten, entertain, and educate using my poetic voice and platform. To introduce to some and expand to others, showing how poetry can be incorporated into a culture that is rich, vibrant, and unique; the world of the Steelpan.

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.
