~A woman waits in the evening, a son helps a homeless man, a mother reflects on loss, an uncle’s war service as a stretcher bearer is honoured. Two babes on the cusp of the heavens contemplate what life will be when they are born. A mother watches a grown son sleep, a grandmother witnesses the birth of her first grandchild and a sister says goodbye.Verse is a varied and compelling collection of poetry and prose poetry that encompasses: birth, death, and the whole glorious mess in-between that we call life. There’s doggerel about a cat, reasons to climb a tree at any age. There’s an ode to Robin McLaurin Williams, and poignant testament to the frailties of life, loss and longing.Verse resonates with candour and courage, tempered by bewilderment and sadness when love is betrayed, when friendship is abandoned. It contains the whimsy of imagination, the humour of life’s misadventures. There’s no instruction, merely reflection and conjecture. A yearning for hope, faith and love.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘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...

  • 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. 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....
