Sobre IBD

My grandfather, went from one side of the globe to the other on board LST 534, which saw action in two of the worst battlefields of World War II, the Invasion of Normandy, and the Invasion of Okinawa. I have attempted to put this story together from the perspective of my grandfather through his letters to his parents and other ephemera from the midst of the conflagration.

  • Sometimes Things are Punk, Sometimes They are Not
    Juventino Manzano
    This diary is very different from my grandmother’s in many ways-the generational differences are apparent upon reading. Hilda helped ran a garage for her father, while Esther worked as a stenographer and was very much a lady, whereas Hilda would have been considered a 'tom boy.' Another issue with Esther’s diary is the lack of photos. Due to a family squabble, if that is even t...

  • Love in the Time of COVID
    Juventino Manzano
    I told Oscar he was not to take any vaccine for COVID. He said he would not. He then said something I absolutely admire, and is how I feel as well, 'If COVID kills me, then I was not meant to be here.' If only the masses felt that way. Much more enlightened than crying out to the government for help. And this is a weak 'pandemic.' If you want me to be afraid, I need to see pile...

  • Wanting to See that Way
    Juventino Manzano
    Suddenly, there is a blur in front of my face. I try to see it and I do not see anything-there it is again. I see a flash of green and scarlet and realize that there is a hummingbird hovering over my head. It rockets,hovers, bounces, and dodges unknown particles only it sees, and now it is less than a yard away looking directly at me. It dives into one of the moonflowers and in...

  • Love in the time of Covid
    Juventino Manzano
    Love in the time of Covid consists of poetry pre-covid, and during, after, and into the eternal present. The pandemic disrupted the abnormality of normality trading its abnormalities for totalitarian edicts to see if people would do anything to stay alive, take a trip, to pretend things would be normal again if they submitted. A time of mask covered faces convinced by fear and ...

    This revised 2023 edition contains work that was found in the collection Requited Ecstasy and other poetry that was formerly not included in From the Tree. I hope this to be a complete anthology, which in combination with Love in the Time of Covid, represents the majority of my poetry. This work is all pre-covid and pre-death of my mother, one event which changed the world and ...
