Sobre IBD

Just something she said... is a collection of free-verse poetry based on a woman’s thoughts and observations about beginnings, endings, love, and loss. Imagine two friends talking and having coffee in a quiet café, when one says something seemingly insignificant-just a simple thought she’s been pondering. These poems are the stories that emerge when that simple thought stirs into something bigger and reveals an unexpected truth.Diane Smith’s collection of thirty poems focusses on a married woman’s domestic life to show the essence of humanity shared by both women and men. With conversational verse and an outward unintentionality to slide profound truths to our hearts and souls, her critical eye reveals a full range of thought and emotion on beauty, romance, longing, pain, and love. She creates a tension between her innermost self and outward presentation, calling to mind that marriage and life itself are often performances, dances between fantasy and desolation. 6

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....
