At its core, The Half-Breed Horse Thief is a poetic memoir, non-linear in its landscape of experience and fragmented memories. A disparaging term made poetic, the title represents someone from a mixed background who, so to find themselves within disparate cultures without inheritance, must become a bandit, a punk, must steal by adapting, moving chameleon-like between houses, states & countries; when mixed race, you must thieve culture you are not given outright, are not sheltered with since birth - displaced inside feeling on the outside of both. Within the story are its parts - distinct - but the whole is not there. A mixture of straight-forward & skirting, curious sense of humor, musing through an abstract lens, nit-picking at memories, finding truths & untruths. The fine edged tool of Years shouldered by universal themes of the Blues and Astronauts Landing. Uncovering the self, and balance, through the sparse beauty of graffiti, and the fullness of finding family.

    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.
