Sobre IBD

Thanks to the late Peter ToryÕs encouragement, who used almost 100 of my limericks in his Diary columns in the Star and The Sunday Express in the Õ80s and early Õ90s, I seem to be addicted to writing limericks. Or trying to. As often as not for friends. I do think a book of them might make good stocking fillers. Unlike Edward LearÕs, the last line of my limericks is NOT a repeat of the first line and the last line also usually contains a (hopefully) funny pay off. WhatÕs more Ð my limericks do usually scan! ÒAs someone who specialises in mysteries of all kinds and at all levels, it remains something of a mystery even to me how my old friend Arnie Wilson manages to write such daft but undeniably amusing limericks. In fact theyÕre Dead Funny! (Regular readers of my Roy Grace thrillers will get that pun-ishing joke.)Ó Peter James, author of the Roy Grace thrillers 3

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....
