Sobre IBD

Not all poetry behaves itself - and James Domestic has no interest in making it try. Within these pages the ordinary slips out of situ. Narratives get a bit wonky, objects misbehave, and convention absconds.A TV legend may be a residential menace, and a smart speaker might develop a grudge. A rock band could be mistaken about what it actually is, and the Poetry Police may have secured an arrest warrant...Domestic’s world feels just close enough to ours to be unsettling - and just strange enough to be very funny indeed. There is wit and mischief running through these poems; a refusal to take language, love, or even the self too seriously.A collection for readers who enjoy the offbeat, the surreal, and the utterly ridiculous aspects of our everyday lives.

  • 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....
