Sobre IBD

ÒC.L. BledsoeÕs savage, hallucinatory, and ironic third chapbook Ñ Leap Year by Red Ceilings Press Ñ opens a window into the mind of the insane. Taken as a whole, which is clearly the intent Ð each of the 29 poems is titled with the date, as if the book is a journal written in February of a leap year ÂÐ the book reveals day-to-day life in a mental institution, blending black humor with the isolation and humiliation of an imaginative, wry speaker. Leap Year is an ambitious book, yet Bledsoe pulls it off with a masterful performance. ItÕs utterly unforgettable.: -Elizabeth Swann, Prick of the Spindle
