Sobre IBD

''I once had a dream of a new world.I saw a city of crystals, pearls and gold, full of light, guarded by angels of old.There was no nightThe city was bright.A river of pure love flowed through.There was no death for me and you.No dying, no crying, no sinning.A place of no pain or sorrow.It is the world of tomorrow.These and other sentiments sum up this little collection of poems. Put together during a ’share 21 of your poems in 21 days’ challenge these poems are expressions of faith, hope and love in a world that at times loses these virtues. #TheWriteAngle challenge has been designed to push poets out of their comfort zones and give them new ways to express themselves. As the publisher puts it ''''This challenge is NOT for those who wait for the perfect moment to start writing. This challenge is for those who take a moment and make it perfect.'''' This is David’s humble contribution which includes both new and old pieces of writing. The poems can be read over 21 days, in one sitting or at random. The poet asks:''''Do I write free verse?Bad verse?Good verse?Or chaos?Are these easy essays?Perhaps they are scribbles searching for the light.''''''

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.
