Sobre IBD

Cavorting with Time is a series of poems about female ageing and mortality. Jacqui Malins shares them here as a work in progress, a script that will develop and mature over time, gathering notes and annotations with each new presentation. She has performed variations of it solo, with musical accompaniment, and now it performs on the page. In this sequence of poems, Jacqui Malins negotiates andrenegotiates her relationship with time and its effects on the bodyand mind. Time is a complex presence: variously a musician, adance partner, a tattooist, an adversary to be gripped and wrestled,the turner of a cosmic crankhandle, a pair of cupped hands waitingto catch us at the end of consciousness, and more. Malins bearsclear-eyed and nuanced witness to the ravages and caresses of ourconstant companion, ‘Time, our sister’ while gazing calmly at‘Death, who walks with her.’ An experience you will not forget.Melinda SmithWinner, 2014 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Poetry 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...

    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....
