Knowing the beauty of life, a gift, a home,holds the weapon of contentment, so never sway ...In Reaching for the Beauty and Facts of Life, Betty Anderson shares her first compilation of free-verse poetry that encourages you to take a second look at the world in which we all live and embrace differences, fears, and loves of all humankind.With the hope that her poems will influence thinking and create new ideas within each of us, Anderson-a teacher who has always incorporated poetry into her classroom-not only challenges cultural biases and religious perspectives, but also provides charming views of nature and the antics of children as she traces a lyrical journey through life. While incorporating subtle life lessons into her poetry about friendship, family, and love, Anderson also interweaves historical elements, as she shares the contributions of African Americans and awakens others to the fears we all face in today’s world.This moving collection of poetry will persuade you to reach into your heart and soul to create memorable changes and accept the beauty of life. 3

    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....
