Sobre IBD

Published at the same time as the author’s memoir Dreaming Arrival this volume offers a retrospective of over 30 years’ work, including as-yet-uncollected poems. This Collected - the latest in a series of large-scale retrospectives from Shearsman Books - demonstrates what many have already recognised: that John Welch’s apparently quiet art is a powerfully communicative one.

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....
