What makes a Poetic Bond?The process of selecting poems for publication in THE POETIC BOND series is unlike any other in that there is no set plan as to what will be published. It depends on the themes that emerge from the pool of work submitted, or to put it another way, the poetic energy which comes together at this certain time and place. Where themes emerge, patterns of energy harmonize, bonds form, connections are made, these in turn lead to interconnected chapters, and the creation of a holistic volume, deeply connected with humanity, nature, and the universe.Reviews for The Poetic Bond Series“Readers will feel joy, sorrow, and every emotion in between” Review of PBVIII“The poetry that fills this book is moving, deep, and affirming” Nicholas Chiarkas (WI, USA)“…very impressed with much of the excellently crafted writing “ Robin Hislop (UK/Spain)” … a joy to read … thanks for creating this bond and including me in it”Neetu Malik (PA, USA/India) “A book to carry with you for moments of meditative thought”Diane Jardel (Eire)
