She was first published in 1972, writing a collection of works entitled “A Teenager’s Thoughts on Life.” While living in Pensacola Florida, Bonnie also became an active member of the West Florida Literary Federation where she participated in the Back Door Poets monthly poetry readings, produced and directed the Reader’s Showcase and served for a year on the Board of Directors. She has been featured in the “Emerald Coast Review,” “The Poet’s Voice,” “Amelia,” the Back Door Poets chapbook, the Panhandler, and “Home Life.”
In October of 2002, Bonnie published her first solo book of poetry which is titled “Survive the Shadow Stalker: A Poetic Journey through Abuse.” The poems that grace the pages of this book detail not only the personal survival of abuse, but of the tragedy of abuse suffered from the blind hand of illness, rape, war, and loneliness.
Bonnie possesses the unique gift of being able to put down on paper a feeling or thought that every one of us might have had at one time in our lives. She will not only touch your heart with the poetry that flows from her, but she will have you pull it out and touch it as well; to feel it’s warmth; to feel it’s aches. She will touch the deepest part of your soul.weniger sehen
