Ruth met Bob when she was eighteen. They felt their meeting was meant to be. But both of them had a great deal of inner growth to accomplish. After eight years of marriage they divorced. In the next sixteen years they did the work it took to grow - separately. When they remarried, their gratefulness knew no bounds. They knew how very fortunate they were and lived together with a deep appreciation for having a second chance in life. When Bob died twenty years later, Ruth put her grief into the words that are this book. For me poetry is a spiritual unfolding of the essence of relationships through words. Below is the title poem of my book of poetry, dedicated to my husband Bob: Days of Together We knew days of togetherthen, humbled away from uswe knew life alone. As though by no reasonour beingsplayed a seeminglymagical game, Our course designed by the Masterin kindnessand in beautyis our daily graduationin eternal search for Truth. Ruth won the American Pen Women Award for her short story, 'Locked Inside,' which she read at the new San Francisco Library.

  • 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.
