Bonnie Eldred
Bonnie Eldred resides on Boca Ciega Bay in Madeira Beach with her
husband Marlin. Their four sons grew up in this natural environment
overlooking unspoiled mangrove islands. Although self-taught in the field
of biology, it was inevitable that Bonnie Eldred would find a new career in
marine science. In 1955, she helped to establish a University of Florida
Red Tide field station in St. Petersburg. Later under the auspices of the
Florida Department of Natural Resources, this small field station grew to a
large world-renowned marine research laboratory. Bonnie Eldred's role as a
marine biologist expanded as a world expert on shrimp biology. After 17
years in marine research, Bonnie Eldred retired to explore new dimensions
of life. A visit into her home portrays the duality of this Gemini person.
In her poetry and graphics, she brings you into the present by brutally
putting Mother Nature and man in their place. In "MOTHER NATURE IS A
BITCH", Bonnie Eldred is the mistress of a good many free-swinging words
that take Old Mother Nature and expose the "lady" for what she is. Mrs.
Eldred has not neglected to take mankind down also by pointedly pointing to
the close relationship between Mother Nature and Mankind. In abandoning
her Marine Biologist role for that of purveyor of a vivid, analogous poetic
form, Mrs. Eldred displays a fresh and unique talent for dealing
realistically with her subject matter. To those who like their Mother
Nature quietly but lavishly entombed in moonlight and roses, "MOTHER NATURE
IS A BITCH" will come as a shocker. But however she is preferred, Mrs.
Eldred's book will be an eye-opener on "Mother's" true status in the scheme
of things.
