Recently I ran into a poetry book. It had several authors names on it. It cost a penny not ready to be given up. It was rich in brutality. It was as common as children and dirt. It thrilled its reader’s because its readers were criminals. The edition even included maps to keep the inferior races from overshooting their islands. And printed on paper so fine its movement through whispers did cleanse the tears of the weak of heart. Let me take from this poetry, its opening --In the beginning - But that would be plagiarism. Let us caution such theft, and make for ourselves - poetry - made of true Life, Death, and Love -- In the end, Existence-in-play is the worldThe world divides between the poem & disasterThe privilege of disaster is oblivion: the vanishment of humanity the abyss of the voidThe privilege of man is Poetry wherein heart’s hunger experiments with lifeThe balance of life is called FateFate is only fate that avoids the disequilibria of love For Love experiments with Life What Love represents is Sense What Sense represents is poetry in humankind For if there is no thing poetic of man, then whether a proposition has sense, or has none, remains irrelevantWithout poetry, the power of Irrelevant propositions can kill

  • 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.
