Life is a Smorgasbord is a racy compilation of the trials, tribulations, trepidation, and soul-searching through separation, divorce, single motherhood, the quest for true love and refection on life and the world around us. The first three parts are confessional in nature, while Parts IV and V are tales told, and cultural insights written in free verse.'My favorite of those I read is ’Let It Out,’ the perfect-it seems to me-poetic expression of expression (honesty does indeed yield clarity). The best argument against Dickinson’s ’success in circuit lies.’' Al Filreis, Kelly Family Professor of English, University of Pennsylvania.'I can relate to this idea of an artist in their garret hacking away as canned and stereotyped and wrong as that may be, but that’s the work isn’t it, its own reward, the shifting eye of the mind and ear here in the making? Yeah it’s a lonely job, but somebody’s gotta do it, soldier away and watch flowers grow. So thank you for your work! Or as Keats wrote to Reynolds on 2/19/1818... ’...thus by every germ of spirit sucking the sap from mould ethereal every human might become great, and humanity instead of being a wide heath of furse and briars with here and there a remote oak or pine, would become a grand democracy of forest trees,’' written about 'Still Alone.' ’Denny’ AKA Nicholas Stern, Mentor, University of Pennsylvania.Ms. Weiland Abrams received the Editor’s Choice Awards for her poems 'Gray,' 'Is it Over' and 'Life is Like a Linen Skirt' from Howard Ely, Managing Director, International Library of Poetry.

    ‘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. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    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....
