With this collection of poems I am endeavouring to make my words reflect a very personal experience of nature. But one which is open to all of us.In our everyday lives there is a paucity of opportunity to engage directly with the natural world. Any encounters we are likely to have are equally likely to be small and limited in scale.We have lost so much.But if we rejoice in what we do have, then surely we will want to replenish the planet.We must recognise the worth of every other form of life and that each individual life is as significant to itself as ours is to us. And it is likely that those lives will have more positive significance to the Earth than our own.In doing so, we have to admit the part our every day existence plays in the demise of the global ecology.And THEN we can change it. Geoff Francis England 2020

    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....
