TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY?How dare these works competefor your eyes and purse with thoseof my masters, Donne and Keats!If just one verse outlives this author’s deathit may, by chance, have gained the rightto kneel before their feet, inside this arenaof infinite time, or none at all, where all things are,from atom dust to vastest starEach poem in this book awaits excitedly,hoping your heart might love it enoughto bear it past that void-eyed guard,who bars the frontier of mortality.Indeed, to help you care, they ask me hereto speak of how their words will change your life,with truths that purge the layers of paints,that hide the ancient grain, until it’s bare,and live with scents, that throng the air.But why should you believe such claims?For only fools would eat such mouthfuls of exalted air,instead of wholesome veg or meat.It’s best to check the path ahead,before you take this unknown ride.So pick a random spot to viewthe verses on a page or two.Then, if they bring you joy, to glidefrom poem to poem;or take up residence inside.You’ll find if you click the ‘View Online’that every page throws wideits door to let you in, and thusyou may give your eyes a touruntil you growl with rage,then dance in ecstasy,or start to snore!

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....
