Neil McCrea is a poet and author living in the Pacific Northwest. His work has most recently appeared in Knock, Etc: a Review of General Semantics, and in the NeoPoiesis anthology Candy. Wisdom & Dust is his first poetry collection.Reviews “Like water into wine, McCrea consistently and effortlessly transforms the quotidian into the revelatory. Wisdom & Dust dazzles and surprises with its pathos, wit, and insight.”   - Jonathan Evison, author of All About Lulu and West of Here“The impressive poems in Wisdom & Dust have the swagger and pulse of the authentic. McCrea's characters, filled with equal parts rage and longing, bravado and despair, live in a universe where sucker punches and life-changing epiphanies wait at every turn.”  - James P. Othmer, author of The Futurist and Holy Water “Vivid and revealing, Neil McCrea's Wisdom & Dust tells stories of lust, love, lawlessness, and root beer. The powerful but dark outlook reminds one of Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, but with a sexual twist.”   - Alyse Black – International Award-Winning Touring & Recording Artist“Following Neil McCrea's optimistic and innocent boy into manhood left me feeling like I'd committed some sort of new sin myself, like I was partly responsible for his descent into all of this cool, blue madness.”  - Jeannette Kantzalis, songwriter/novelist

  • 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....
