Giovanna is a free-lance writer and a published author of her new book, ’Etchings of the Heart’ and ’dreams and visions of love’. This book is a result of six years of purging her soul through writing that gave way to a wondrous spiritual awakening, after a series of events beginning with the death of her father and a downward spiraling of her personal life that enabled her to see that everything in life happens for a reason. 'When you reach rock bottom, there is nowhere to go but up.' says GiovannaHer book delves into the mysteries of life including déjà vu and psychic visions and dreams. The intertwining of modern poetry with mythical characters and legends makes it ethereal and enthralling! Her fantastic view of love is reminiscent of the great love poets of old. 'We need a revival of great love poetry again' says Giovanna. 'I guess I am a hopeless romantic with my moon being in Venus' I believe that our sun and moon signs play a significant role in our lives.This book is a unique book of poetry, as it is a quintessential array of poetry from the heart; thus came the title ’Etchings of the heart'Giovanna said 'my friends in my poetry group on writer’s café and Mary’s Bridge, all agreed that my poems came straight from my heart and I have to agree. There are all kinds of love that I write about. There is love of family, friends, romantic love, pets, nature, and God. In all love there is beauty to be found. I also write about the paradox of love which consists of Love vs. hate or Agony and ecstasy: both sides of a fiery sword. In her poem ’Never was a day,’ Giovanna writes: 'for never was a day, when there was sunshine, without rain, and for love to exist without pain.'

    ‘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.

    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....
