Sobre IBD

Lovers of cats and poetry, prepare to be amazed and entertained! A Carnival of Cats features sixty-three poems and twelve watercolor paintings that explore the author’s love for and admiration of cats-their beauty, grace, and inscrutable character-and his bemused surmises as to what motivates their puzzling, distinctive, often delightful behaviors. This engaging book tells stories of cats the author has known and cherished-pets, strays, those who are a little of both, and some met only for one special moment. Characterizing unique and memorable individuals from both human and cat perspectives, the poet conceives of cats as enigmas, orphans, gods, spies, cheating mistresses, predators, muses and, best of all, companions and comforters. In A Carnival of Cats, the humanity of cats and the animality of humans blur together in both rhyming and free-verse poems. Exploring what cats mean to us and what we might mean to them, the poems can be humorous or serious, and sometimes heartrending. If you are drawn to cats, some of these poems will make you laugh and others will haunt you. Even if you are a dedicated dog person, you’re bound to love A Carnival of Cats.

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
