Sobre IBD

Bad Sermons is a loose, anarchic sequence from Forward Prize shortlisted poet Luke Kennard. Described by the author as ’a thriller in 23 parts’ Bad Sermons’ sunken narrative pushes the poet into strange and surreal places, free from formal constraints, with ample space to admire 'the blue glare of the blue glare' and 'tiny black marzipan teardrops'. Bad Sermons is a curious and compelling work from an essential poet.

    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. 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....

  • A Lost Expression
    Luke Kennard
    This is Luke Kennard’s fourth collection of poetry and departs from his previous work in its scope and outlook. The prose poems and dramatic monologues run deeper and, the verse more personal. It is unmistakably a Kennard book (the wolf appears here in his sixth outing), but there is also a striving to turn away from the self-referential games and literary in-jokes of Kennard’s...

    Luke Kennard
    'The Solex Brothers' explores the fate of the individual - albeit a rather feeble individual - and of personal responsibility in a culture of absurd, inexorable forces. Farce navigating towards moral absolution in narratives at once Fauvist and Baroque, expunging the twee with a reformist’s remorseless vigour; cherishing its influences with a poststructuralist’s vertical rigour...

  • The Migraine Hotel
    Luke Kennard
    A combination of verse and prose poetry, ’The Migraine Hotel’ is Luke Kennard’s third collection and very much a sequel to ’The Harbour Beyond the Movie’. The voices continue to explore the territory opened up by Harbour, at once satiric, stricken, sincere and bitingly sarcastic, combined with a kaleidoscopic range of ways of engaging with a poem as a reader. The prose poems ar...
