New York Trend Review of Juanita Torrence-Thompson’s Poetry Reading at Logos Bookstore (New York City):

“The last part of the reading included poems from Wings Span to Eternity and forthcoming poems. A comical tribute to nothing at all, “Nothingness or No-One....” “The Passenger” was another poem on everyday occurrences, a funny account of the kinds of people we see all the time while traveling around town.”
— James Keller

Excerpts of poems from Wings Span to Eternity (Torderwarz Publishing Company):

NOTHINGNESS OR NO-ONE

...Nothing became popular
No Where
No one talked there
No one heard there
No one ate there
No one saw there
No one lived there
In the place of non-existence....

THE PASSENGER

Scrunched up ruddy-faced
Old man....
Opens bag gingerly
Sets coffee down
On blue bus seat
Removes lid
Reaches into bag
Sets sugar and
Stirrer down
Carefully empties two sugars
Into coffee
Stirs
Puts wrappers and
Stirrers into bag...
