Sobre IBD

LIGHT VERSE AND LIMERICKS is a compilation of my poetry that I found humorous over the last sixty years. It is an attempt on my part to see the world through laughing eyes, to put a touch of whimsy into words, and to bring smiles to anyone who happens to read my lines. Laziness and lack of funds are the villains I name for keeping me from publication before this. My intention now is to get these poems into book form so, possibly, my wife, Glenda, won’t burn them when I die, and to satisfy a sixty year desire to have a book of my own within my library.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. 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....

  • HODGE PODGE
    Ken Layton
    HODGE PODGE is an extension of my imagination. It is a collection of stories I made up to entertain my grandkids and to test my ability as a writer. Most of the plots are fairly simple, but I have tried to make them sensible and to follow an understandable pattern, although for the most part on re-reading, I have over-used a bloody finish for most of my characters. I hope I hav...
