Sobre IBD

Fing arrives in Elysium (USA 1776 - 1826) when Jack hits the ground and enters Tlon (the future of emptiness). Fing bounces up and is 'reconstituted in a spheroid of light.' He is joined by his next guide, the Jester/Parson Yorick, who guides him upward into the sky, meeting a plethora of American revolutionaries, Hamilton, Jay, Monroe, Lafayette, Simon Bolivar, Thomas Jefferson (and Sally Hemings), George Washington. In each scene, the featured characters are stand-ins for their time, a microcosmic example of those who (as Dante said of Purgatorio and Paradiso) had cultivated the good of their intellect, establishing the ideals with which America was built.

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....
