Sobre IBD

This fifth collection of poems continues to explore the themes first introduced in ACE RAIDER OF THE UNFATHOMABLE UNIVERSE, which center on the life of a beloved brother Chris as seen through the eyes of his sister.  We sense this shy man’s independent spirit, struggles to conform to society’s dictates, and follow him through back breaking jobs, an impossible work ethic, the downward spiral of drugs he wrestles to contain after the sudden death of his passionate mother. While addressing serious issues these poems celebrate life in all its joy, sadness and complexity

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....

    Toni Thomas
    There is a lullaby, a Portuguese lullaby, that wafts through the cobbled streets, wedges itself in the punctuation of voices, the lines of faces. It comes without demand, pretense, the need for receipt as if a cathedral is calling the dark into a coronation of lit candles. This lullaby is fastened to loss, longing, abelia, rockroses,  the hillsides of sheep grazing. Fastened to...
