One unusually glorious British summer, words began to flow from Mimi Rose onto the page. Words that had to be voiced, about times that needed to be discussed: Black woman times, Chronic illness times, Racist times, Present times, Fantastic times, Horrendous times, Painful times, Writer times, Happy times, Poignant times, Family times. It became a remembering season, with soul-healing moments coming into view. The words are genuine, honest, and real. They are sometimes funny and always thought-provoking. Each piece is accompanied by a musical suggestion, which the author feels enhances the emotions in the words. Living today is very challenging. Living as a Black, chronically-ill woman is deeply challenging. When you read this collection, it is hoped that you feel seen, heard, uplifted, informed, recognised, and mindful. Divided into four sections- Race, Health, the World, and the Future- these pieces are designed to be spoken out loud.

  • 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....
