Sobre IBD

This is a collection of poems written by Dr. Lancer over many years. The topics are varied. There are chapters about nature, people, one on the golden years, one about fairy folk, and there are two chapters devoted to poems for children. These Dr. Lancer wrote when she was teaching poetry writing to the gifted and talented students and, later, students in grades 3 through 5 with interest in creative writing. There is one chapter devoted to copying the format and rhyming styles of famous poets. The rewrites are often of different topics than the original but more updated and often humorous. Dr. Lancer is also a painter and has included a painting with an accompanying poem to head each chapter.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    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....
