Thoughts in Silence (Observations & Insights)Silence is one of the core requirements, an often unmentioned yet vitally necessary ingredient in the creation of poetry and writing in general. Silence allows the writer to receive the ideas, images, and emotions, which seem to arrive from nowhere but actually arrive from within, or beyond, from the field of energy, and essence that surrounds us, like a shroud. In this section, the poet shares poems that came through that silence, that shroud, at various points during his lifetime. In life, it is rare that we pause to take stock, to ask ourselves directly - who we are, why we are, and what we are. Such thoughts are often tossed aside, cast of with lines like - don’t be silly, what are you talking about, that’s crazy talk - of course I know who I am, what I am, and why. Actually, most of us do not, we have never been that honest with ourselves or sat in silence, taken inventory, asked ourselves what we feel, what we believe, and why. In a way, it is true, it is crazy talk, after all we are born, we develop our beliefs, we hold to those beliefs firm (generally) and we live our lives without inventories conducted in silence - or Emerson, read within season . Thoughts in Silence (Observations & Insights) is a book in which the Poet pauses, opens the door, and allows us to enter in, to read, to watch, to listen and finally - to consider for ourselves what we feel about, or think about what the poet has written and what response, if any we have from having gone through this experience. The invitation is sent, the door is open, enter - if you wish.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. 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...

    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....
