The book contains poems written by my Grandfather George Denison during his life in Yorkshire before World War II, during WWII, after WWII and immigrating to Australia.There are also some poems by my Great-Grandfather James William Denison to his son that were amongst the collection of old note pads and loose notes yellow with age.The poems are regional to Yorkshire (and parts of the UK) and specific, speaking of old caves in the Dales to beautiful green glades. They are also romantic at times and family sensitive speaking of his love for his wife and two sons. Many of his treasured memories of England are in these poems.There are memoirs of WWII as a Royal Engineer and friendships developed with Canadian allies who came to help. He never spoke of the war when it was over like many others because of friends he lost and I believe he vented his memories in his poetry. It was a great find as my wise old Grandmother kept all his words, which came to my possession in 2003.I believed in rewriting these poems (probably because I am a biased grandson) mainly because of what I learnt from his words values and wisdom speaking from a generation long gone. I believe that these values and ideals should not be forgotten and that we all could benefit from reading an old Yorkshire mans wisdom and maybe reapply some old school values to our everyday lives.

    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....
