All of the poetry in this book, absolutely everyone and anyone will be able to relate to. This is reflected in the title of the book, POEMS TO THE PEOPLE.Every page is one of the assorted facets in the life of many typical people covering a multitude of events and touches many of our different emotions. The beauty of poetry is always in the eye of the beholder and some of the works could either come from the now or from way back covering any possible era. The use of the language in this book is simplistic genius. Alfie has the gifted ability of simply being able to say a lot in simple language that anyone can relate to. Any reader will eat this book up in no time.Here are some first verse extracts: LIFE’S FIRST LOVEDeep conversation in full flood,then a glance a rush of blood.Recognition, know that face,another time another place. OIL SPILLThrough murky waters with tear filled eyesI sat and watched the fish swim by.And on the surface the seabird sat,feathers tarred, sticky black.Through the ebb and flow the dolphins swam,dirty grey, thanks to man.Dead fish floated on a sea full of scum,innocent victims, evolution undone.MEMORIESAn empty bed, a piece of hair.A lipsticked glass, a ruffled chair.A bill you paid, the milkman’s note.A letter signed, the cheque you wrote. OTHER MOTHERSI think there should be a law against other children’s mothers,They seem to let their offspring get away with murdering each other.According to my children, other mums are best,they let their kids have what they want and never need to rest.

    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....
