Sobre IBD

An Aeneid for England! English Morn tells the story of two brothers, Hengest and Horsa, exiled from Angeln, who take service with the 'Proud Tyrant', Vortigern, in Britannia. They act as mercenaries against the 'Painted People', the Picts, and Vortigern rewards them with land. But a new threat arises - the 'Rightful King', Aurelius, has built up a Roman-style legion to reconquer the country. Vortigern urges Hengest to bring many more of his people to serve as mercenaries - but the Britons don’t take kindly to having so many foreigners in their midst and rebel. Hengest and Horsa are caught up in the chaos that ensues.

Originally written by hand, the author has traversed a fine line betw...

  • 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....

  • Conisbrough Tales
    Christopher Webster
    Conisbrough Tales is a modern version of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, being a collection of stories about my home town, Conisbrough, in verse. I am sure that Geoffrey Chaucer’s dog could write better poetry than me, but I think (hope) that there are a few felicitous moments where the doggerel rises to the level of verse (and, at rare moments, perhaps even poetry). Whatever the q...
