Sobre IBD

What's in the daddy closet? A complicated father/daughter relationship, patriarchy itself, vast and contradictory social issues from the 1950s, 1960s and now. Sometimes, real heroes chose non-action or curious actions. Mariane Pearl, a widowed mother-to-be choses not shoot an automatic weapon. A jerk takes a selfie with resting seals. A daughter choses not to avenge a jealous father. Gregory Crewdson burns down a condemned house for a photoshoot. Hemingway is not the perfect role model for all writers.Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass haunt Foley's Department Store. A fake clamshell at a miniature golf course longs for the ocean not to be powered by a nuke. Krishnamurti offers advice from an old video tape. A legless Vietnam vet earns his way selling weed that inspires everyone to dance.Trees celebrate Tu B'Shevat with their own chant. Girls go up in a Piper Cub with Rich instead of studying math. Aveline and Michio Kushi's daughter enjoys a rice ball. Andrew Carnegie plants a Camperdown Elm. These images, sometimes photo-real, sometimes surreal, sometimes magically real offer readers a chance to forage for what will resonate.

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....
