Sobre IBD

Ekphrasis, that ancient mode found in Homer’s description of Achilles’s shield or Keats’ Grecian Urn, is here transformed in Michael Heller’s meditations in poetry and prose on work by the painter Max Beckmann. Heller navigates, sometimes with Yeats as his Virgil, through a gallery of Beckmann’s pictures, seeing them as uniquely bringing home contemporary civilization’s catastrophic impulses ('as if days were not for sanity'), impulses at once horrific and unsettling yet strangely beautiful and restorative.

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...

    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....

  • Ultimate Explanations of the Universe
    Michael Heller
    We humans are collectively driven by a powerful - yet not fully explained - instinct to understand. We would like to see everything established, proven, laid bare. The more important an issue, the more we desire to see it clarified, stripped of all secrets, all shades of gray.
