Curious Design

by Bonnie Stanard, Giovanni Battista Bracelli (Illustrator)

We don't all think alike, but to some of us, life is an ever-present enigma. Stanard writes that life "chases me in cycles defying viewpoint." With Bratecceli's cubist art as inspiration, she skillfully renders compositions that introduce us to an original and unexpected reading experience. This is a mix of pithy poems, some profound and others amusing.

About the author

Bonnie Rawls Stanard grew up in South Carolina on a farm near the North Edisto River, went to college, married Doug Stanard in Virginia Beach, and has moved as far as Brussels, Belgium in following his career. It is often the case that she doesn’t know what she thinks until she writes it down. This is particularly true of poetry. She’s been thinking enough to write seven novels and two books of poetry, which can be found at various online venues. Most of her novels are historical fiction, which allows readers to travel back in time and explore the historical record.
