'I must not write poems about my friends' is a collection of poems that I have written about, and for my friends over a span of 40 years and more. They are a mixture of humour, love, remembrance and while I have used the real life stories of friends, I have leant heavily on my own imagination and exercised huge creative licence to make my poems more entertaining. For almost as long as I can remember, I have written stories and poems about my beloved friends, family, and on occasion, myself.My first poem about life was at age six when I wrote a poem about rainy days and the joys of jumping in puddles -this was also my first published piece and it was in my primary school newsletter.In recent years when I first started to jot down little ditties poking affectionate fun at my friends, I mostly found no one was ever offended and often friends seemed to find my little, written caricatures to be quite flattering.Too often, these days though, I write with great love and reminiscence of special times had together or past memories of a friend or family member no longer with us.But mostly a bit of a laugh is had.All have been written with love and mixed intentions. Enjoy!

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....
