In 1985, a Beirut Car Bombing took place in front of a mosque killing 45 people and injuring 175. That year Mikhail Gorbachev became the Soviet leader. In Bangladesh, a tropical cyclone and storm surge hit and killed approximately 10,000 people. Meanwhile, a volcanic eruption in Columbia killed 25,000 people and riots and protests against apartheid policies continued in Townships in South Africa. In 1985, the first mobile phone call was made in the UK and British Scientists discovered a hole in the earths Ozone Layer.Later that year, a Delta Air Lines Lockheed TriStar crashed at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, killing 137. It was a bad year for plane crashes as Japan Airlines Flight 123, a Boeing 747 jumbo jet, crashed into Mount Ogura, in Japan, killing 520 in the world’s worst single-plane air disaster. Four people miraculously survived.The 'Achille Lauro' was hijacked by Palestinian terrorists and American naturalist Diane Fossey was found murdered in Rwanda in that year. In America, the Unabomber killed his first victim, and odd as it sounds, Route 66 ceased to be an official highway in 1985.I kept writing in my own messed up world. I had lost love, but found love again. My first book was too dark according to some. My second book was too light and comical for others. I went back to writing what I had experienced or seen in my life.I wrote on a small tablet that I carried around to work and any where I went. My problems weren’t as big as those going on in the world, but they impacted my life enough to put them on paper. I was still working on the art of chewing up words and spitting them out into poems and prose on paper. I was Cuttin’ Teeth.

    Edward V Bonner
