Sobre IBD

Many poems by Glory Cumbow like this:Fertile Decay I’m ready.It’s time for a compost pile.First come the eggshells that I had to tiptoe onso as not to offend you.Then come the dry leavesfrom the bushes I had to beat aroundso that you never had to face the truth.Next are the banana peels,the traps of deceit you laid down to slip me up.After that, I dump in the clippingsthat I had to cut down to reveal your identityas a snake in the grass.Finally, I sprinkle in the ashesfrom the letters and picturesthat I set aflame.This pile is rotten, reeking of death.But my, oh my,just wait and seethe life I will be able to growfrom this fertile decay.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    Edward V Bonner

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....
