Sobre IBD

The poems, in this collection, attempt, through commentary, to reflect on the many facets of human experience. Many of the poems confront, directly, the personal, the social, the political, and the cultural, prejudices, partisanship, and stampedes of the modern world, present and past.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. 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...

  • 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....

  • Perspectives from An Armchair
    Benedict Nnolim
    The opinions of armchair philosophers, to whom life is in black and white, are not often taken seriously, probably, because they are, often, too loudly expressed or, irritatingly, argumentative. These opinions arise, however, from social concern and from exasperation at the apparent lack of concern, by the rest of the population, about serious matters of human existence. Some a...

  • MR GOODMAN AND OTHER POEMS
    Benedict Nnolim
    Growing up, in the 1960s Nigeria, was idyllic. Young Nigerians, who made the fashionable choice 'to seek the golden fleece' by pursuing tertiary education in Europe, met with what they had not bargained for. In their late teens and armed only with a highly romanticised but dated English grammar school education and Christian manners, they discovered that Europe was not what the...
  • A SHORT HISTORY OF THE DELIBERATE KILLING OF CHILDREN (Born and Unborn)
    Benedict Nnolim
    Every age believes it is more civilised than earlier ones. It abhors, as barbaric, the cruelties of preceding ages while, at the same time, justifying its own cruelties using current, fashionable logic. Modern democracy claims to have overcome the tyrannies of kings and dictators. Yet it is, actually, run by tyrannies; that of the 'majority' at best but, more usually, that of t...
