POSTCARDS FROM PARADISE - A TUCSON SPRING is the poetic diary of a 6-week visit to Tucson, Arizona, by a couple in their 47th year together, as they return to the city where they were married and lived for a total of ten years, first in the 1960s and again in the 1980s. Their current impressions are layered over their earlier memories of 'the Old Pueblo' and the surrounding Sonoran desert which they once regarded as a kind of paradise. These 'postcards' are different from any you have ever encountered.

    ‘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....
