Sobre IBD

In this, his third collection of poetry, the author again addresses a multitude of topics grounded in the contrast and comparison between inner and outer experience. Written in a variety of styles, there is nonetheless a consistent voice in its various parts, including a long meditation addressed to the letters of the alphabet itself. A deep and often outrageous book of profound poetry located in the Modernist tradition.
