Sobre IBD

Everything is Ghosts is a meditation on the fragility of new independence, and a juxtaposition of personal histories-in-progress with the troubled histories of a college town’s residents-many of whom are dead. This collection’s poems follow a group of college friends through their experiences with burgeoning adulthood, as they reckon with where they’ve been and whom they might be turning into. Whether braving a dorm haunted by the spirit of a basketball player and nebulous 'shadow people,' daring each other out onto a murder-scene bridge at midnight, witnessing ghost hunters in the campus library, or wrestling personal hauntings like vehicular accidents, drug use, the after-effects of polio, and the passage of time, the players in Everything is Ghosts learn to keep one eye open at all times. As they create, carouse, and hold each other up, they learn that being haunted can have more than just one meaning.

  • 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....
