Sobre IBD

What unites Henri Beyle (who blossoms as Stendhal), the Watcher on the glazed veranda, Leah Lee (wife of Jules Laforgue), the Lady presiding over the Game of Tanka, and Kurt Schwitters (migrating from Dada to Cumbria)? A fastidious gentleness perhaps? Nostalgia certainly. But equally the presence of brewed tea. In Cumbria is a new collection by the author of Montale: A Biographical Anthology, Occam’s Aftershave, Three Painters and other books, as well as a number of  Picaro/Ginninderra chapbooks. John Watson is the 2016 winner of the Newcastle Poetry Prize.

    Jennifer Chrystie

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....

  • Princesse de Clèves
    John Watson
    It might be that Madame de Lafayette’s novel of passion is one of the greatest in the genre. It is closer to the declamatory theatre of Racine than to anything else in the robust tradition of the English novels of Fielding or Smollett or Dickens. It has generated in John Watson a response in iambics, which seem in English the only way this expressive grandeur can be attempted. ...
