One of Americas most prolific poets in the latter half of the twentieth century, Bonnie May Malody has been published an average of nearly three times a month for over three decades!
Born Bonnie May Thomas in rural Missouri, she attended Joplimo High School in Joplin, where she was a member of the Quill and Scroll Club and worked on the school newspaper. After graduating in 1931, she married Lawrence Virgil Malody and moved to San Diego, California, in the early forties during World War Two with their young daughter, Marcia.
Bonnie's first poem published in a major publication was in 1955 in Cats Magazine. She soon became one of the favorites of the Christian Science Monitor and was published there nearly 400 times alone. She also worked as a "Special Contributing Editor" for Readers' Digest and has been published in many magazines and newspapers throughout the U.S. and abroad.
Ms. Malody's poetry was recently collected and published as "Friendship Comes Crashing In," edited by Daniel Powell and published in June 2014. The partial collection consists of 136 pages, some of it previously unpublished, and its ISBN number is 149933088X.
