Sobre IBD

Two poetry collections in one convenient paperback! Beginning from the front, Icarus: and other poems features both classical and contemporary poetry, covering Achilles, Odysseus, and Icarus alongside subjects like cars, the changing seasons, and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Beginning from the back, If You Give Up: poems from a dead lover’s diary features poems focused on love and heartbreak. Reminiscent of Bukowski, these poems will make you laugh and cry in turns. Each collection contains fifty poems, for a total of one hundred.
