The purpose of my writing is to tell others--whether kids, teenagers, or adults--my version of life. A vast majority of my writing is nonfictional, where I look through another person’s eyes. Sometimes I even write to myself to give myself motivation to continue to help others in this unbalanced world. There are times even I am saddened as to what I went through early in life. Everyone’s mind drifts at some point, and they visualize or live a certain moment within their minds. I want them to envision behind my eyes, their eyes, through your eyes. I like to give people something to experience that they may have been a part of, or know someone who’s been a part of, or about to be a part of something that I’ve written. I also would like to be their voice to tell them they’re not alone. Perhaps in some genuine heartfelt way that I probably went through something negative he or she may have experienced too, while letting them know through writing, it wasn’t their fault because a strong mind needs encouraging, a strong will needs someone to listen to, and a wounded heart needs loving while someone tells you from their heart that some scars never heal however numerous the efforts we put into hiding those scars. And last but not least, let no one tell you, 'Ahh, just put it behind you. It’ll go away.' I am living proof, along with numerous others, that is truly unforgiving and it doesn’t work that way. We can’t change the past. But we will try to strengthen our future.

    ‘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.

  • 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.
