Poetry isn’t for everyone. It’s highly personal and can be too amorphous, like an open-ended subjective question. Therefore, good poetry should be flexible enough to be open to different interpretations while remaining evocative of powerful feelings of nostalgia, sadness, triumph, struggle, etc. In other words, a poem may encapsulate a feeling or several, whereas a body of poetry should express the entire continuum of human experience.One of the first poems I wrote wasn’t conventional in rhyme and function. It was written in the tenth grade. My teacher asked each of us to write a poem to read in class. I stood up and recited the following: 'One day I went to a garage sale. I realized my parents were for sale, so I bought some shoes.' Poetry has been with me ever since. I hope you enjoy my expression of the human condition. Poetry is one of the talents that separate us from the beasts. Until we meet again. Christopher FeldtJasper, GeorgiaFebruary, 2024

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.
