Sobre IBD

Chapter And Verse has one theme--love. Yet there is diversity within that unity, both in form and substance. The poems run in length from a few short lines to a several verses. The rhyme schemes are many and varied. The subject matter addresses the charm, the mirth, the drama, the chivalry, the bliss, the gravity, and the mystery of love. Each poem speaks directly to the heart with its symmetry of ideas and its eloquent development of thought. Each one is finely wrought, well crafted, and easily unfolded. But the book’s overall appeal lies in its poignant simplicity. It is imbued with a beauty that transports as it inspires.
