Sobre IBD

A mathematical ’aventure’, exploring an interlocked, layered design within the four poems of Cotton Nero A.x. Key structural elements are identified as mathematical metaphors for theological concepts; e.g. 490 as ’seventy times seven’ alludes to forgiveness or 101 as a ’Pythagorean Comma’ alludes to the Music of the Spheres. The author concludes from an analysis of the numerical literary technique and comparison with other medieval poetic mathematics that the four poems - Pearl, Patience, Purity & Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - are meant to form a rhetorical debate with each of the ’Four Daughters of God’ taking a turn to make her best case.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. 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
    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....

In this third chapter, John brings up the legacy of Moses. He relies on his reader’s knowledge of the extraordinary fame...
