Sobre IBD

It Seemed Innocent Enoughis a collection of lyrical and wide-ranging poems that focus on family, love, sadness, joy, fear, death, God, myths, and man’s place in nature and the universe. Vignette’s of the human condition speak of the poet’s own humanity. His meditations on the experiences in his eight decades raise questions about who and what decides man’s destiny. Although serious, the poems also show the poet’s sense of humor and his feeling that this earth, this life is paradise enough for him.
