Sobre IBD

Capturing the essence of struggle and survival, From Shining Doorknobs to Sporting Diamonds presents a collection of poetry for teen-age readers that not only educates, but inspires. A combination of humorous, lyrical, narrative, dramatic, and epic poetry, the selections stir teens toward a healthy lifestyle and work to increase self-esteem while examining some of life’s hardships. Infused with fresh ideas, the poems in this collection create unique images to which teens can relate. The selection, 'The Fool,' creates a simple, yet telling message. / It’s not cool to call someone a fool. / It’s not cool to pretend to be a fool. / A fool is the opposite of cool. / And it’s not cool to be a fool. / Filled with nuggets of wisdom and advice, From Shining Doorknobs to Sporting Diamonds encourages young readers to write their own poems and put their thoughts and dreams on paper. After all, everything a poet touches turns to diamonds. 3

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
