It’s not for me to say exactly how bad or good this poetry is, that of course would be pretentious. I have to say and must say, however that I feel this is at least very authentic verse. Almost all it rhymes, yet, I like to think it has a voice and attempts a kind of mellifluous flow, if you will {if you will}It’s been very painful over the years, to witness insincere pseudo poetry sometimes thrive because of its author’s name recognition while someone like myself with no public saliency is ignored by so called traditional publishers.Therefore, I’m giving it one shot with AuthorHouse and will, if not successful, go back to being merely a pauper, a peasant, a pawn and a poker player!In the opening poem, 'The Vicissitude of the Storm,' the gossamer threads represent spider webs blowing in the wind. If I’ve ever accidentally written a perfect poem, that would be 'The Season', in this column. It’s not a very long poem but the alliteration, I like to think creates an astonishingly nuanced yet bent throbbing winter romance scene.In, 'A Stone in a Pond', I try to convey the sadness I feel of how a bay is often adored by people standing near it who see it through their egos. But when it becomes less amorphous, grows into something g possibly wonderful yet different then them; if is scorned for not meeting their specific expectations. I haven’t written any more poetry for many many years because of becoming weary of fighting unreceptive publishers.Yet, I’ve read and adored many sincere poets like Poe and Kents. The movie 'Bright Star' about John Kents and his love interest touched me deeply. And ii like to think, I too, have a little something to say...

    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘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...

  • 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....

  • Lovisa
    J. Kirby Smith / JKirby Smith
    This novella, which may seem but a too flowery romance to some, tries to go deeply into something far more. Two people who aren’t but in love with one another in some conditional or even sadomasochistic way as is so often the case. Rather, they have a total empathic love: supportive, thoughtful, tender, vast—something so unique today, if not, indeed, nonexistent in this world w...
