Sobre IBD

I am Tekkan. I have married the poetic forms of the sonnet and the tanka. A story is told in the sonnet — using three quatrains, and a final couplet. The story reaches a conclusion in the couplet. The tanka offers a commentary or counterpoint to the sonnet — the combined poems have two endings. The meaning is direct — I want people to understand clearly. Metaphors are inspired by Shakespeare, the (aimed-for) precision imitates the Japanese. Mixing the sonnet with the tanka combines the sensibility of the Occident and the Orient — as I have done by living in America, England, and Japan.The subjects covered in Everyday Mind V include — dragonfly poems — Lascaux Caves poems —  the Equinox — Mr. Bean — Circles of Sober Alcoholics.“Tekkan” is the dharma name I was given. I use Zen mediation to make poetry of ordinary events. Tekkan means, Iron Man, a settled practitioner of great determination.  3

    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.
