Sobre IBD

’Divinations’ I call these poems that limit excessive experience in the interest of embodied knowledge. Where no embodied knowledge exists such a limitation is of course pointless or inappropriate. If poetry can be thought of as mediate communication of experienced knowledge then such a divination is a poem that enables immediate communication - or transfer - of embodied knowledge, or body. Divination as a literary tactic presupposes a body of knowledge and a willingness to forego the usual emphasis on experience in favour of mystic or live body.

  • 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....

    Maureen O'Shaughnessy
    In his interpretation of Antigone, Seamus Heaney says, ‘Nobody can be sure they are always right.’ Maureen O’Shaughnessy’s The Truth about A further attends to this idea through various readings of the myth as portrayed by Sophocles, Brecht, Ted Hughes, Anne Carson and, most particularly, Euripides. Set in contemporary Sydney, among a fictional underworld family, The Truth abou...

  • Miles, Heubeck and Virginia
    Traumear
    We have a right to expect two things from a novel: life insofar as it is a creation and more life because it is the creation which has the special task of setting forth where ’no man or woman has dared to go’. It’s an enterprise into the unknown so that more may be known. Stories are examples of craftsmanship; by them we want to be entertained and moved. Novels involve a certai...

We are given the opportunity to search in ourselves for what we mean by personal growth in comparison to the progress of the human race. The writer does not always ...

  • Our Human-natural World
    Traumear
    He who beholds the natural world is bound to speak out and his speech is informed by what he beholds, it cannot be otherwise. Does he distinguish between the created world and the natural world? This is an interesting question. Birth is out of itself, creation out of another. And yet when we speak of the natural, born world we mean also the created world. An exciting connection...

  • The Cat Calls
    Traumear
    Without intelligence no one and nothing lives. Without intelligence rain falls but never lands, eggs are brooded but never hatch, god is named but never worshipped. And without intelligence we look in vain for grandeur, greatness and magnanimity. But even more important than intelligence is the humour of the divine heart. Here we move in the realm of reality as persons dedicate...

  • Looking for the Old Man
    Traumear
    There is a literature that thrives on faith. What it substitutes for make-believe is an invitation in the direction of true faith. Even imagination, throughout, is in the service of faith. There is no need, so far as I can see, to give a particular name to that literature. If we were to call it evangelical literature, we would be totally misunderstood. All the same, it is never...
