From the title story -- a tall tale of a floppy-eared pie thief who encounters grace in the unlikeliest of places -- to poetic reflections on Spanish moss, growing old, and the ageless and uplifting stories of the Bible, Mayna Cosby Parks dispenses humor and heart in her debut collection, Granny Rabbit’s Gooseberry Pie: Stories and Poems. This book speaks to everyone -- not only children, but adults of all ages.“My poetic wings are little more than pinfeathers,” the author confesses in her introduction. “But when God gives you the desire to write, you must write above your ignorance, and in Him let your soul and spirit, without encumbrance, soar upward toward the light.” She also offers a piece of advice for would-be poets: “It is best to begin writing before the age of eighty-five.”Parks invites the reader to come along for a delightful ride, as though traveling to a beloved aunt’s farm, bouncing along a red-clay washboard road in a ’36 Ford, “shimmying, angling like a trotting dog, coils of pink dust boiling out behind.”Hop on in!

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. 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....
