Sobre IBD

In Galápagos Joy, Paul Stroble joins a field trip to the Galápagos Islands. He observes the islands’ flora, fauna, and geography. He reflects on Darwin and scientific exploration. He also reflects on the spiritual insights one can derive from observing the natural world.Paul wrote a previous book about Darwin and his contemporaries: Backyard Darwin, Finishing Line Press, 2019.One reviewer writes: 'Calling on the wisdom of such wise souls from Darwin to Tennyson, Shakespeare to Dickinson, Mendel to tortoises, Paul Stroble again works his poetic magic. These poems take us on a trip to the Galápagos Islands that is once deeply spiritual while anchored the natural world. Stroble finds drama, humor, and love in everything from tee shirts that read I LOVE BOOBIES to the wonderful impertinence of iguanas and scientists-and the rest of us-who cannot contain our fascination with them. These superb poems show how philosophy, science, and a clear, theological eye can make wonderful literary art.'Another reviewer writes: 'Paul Stroble has authored a terrific piece of expository writing, with a stunning sense of the history of science. I love Paul’s image of science and religion as a Rubik’s cube, which is my understanding, too. His book is a gift to me!'The poems are 32 pages, not including notes and acknowledgments.

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...

    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....
