Sobre IBD

For 77 years I have been waiting to be asked; now, at last, the waiting is over. This world (you) and I are going to change things for the better. This is our time. We are here to do good things together. To make the future, to bring joy to millions. You, me, we are the future. The future belongs to you and me. Let’s aim for the stars. I believe in opportunity for everybody. I want you to be inspired. This poetry book is ’code for a fortune.’ Fortune in love, kindness and time shared with people you care about and will do so for ever. ’Reach out and touch the fruit of this place, the fruit that belongs to the whole human race.’ You chose this book because you believe in yourself. You are a great human being. I am glad we have made contact. I hope I meet you one day, and I hope we can be friends.

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....
