Author’s note: I’m in my mid-eighties, and I’ve just finished writing this collection of poems drawn from my boyhood years. They’re not poems about my early life-they’re poems from my early life.Each poem arose from a separate journey. I went back, became the boy I once was, then took a snapshot of something happening in that place and time.The place is a small farming and coal mining community in Western Pennsylvania. The time is my boyhood years, 1929-1937 or thereabouts.I’m sending these snapshots to my children and grandchildren. I’m also offering them to you, hoping you’ll enjoy them.Robert OliverAugust 2008 3

  • 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....
