Sobre IBD

Immersing into the chilly 52°F water, a finger-drawn heart on a steam-beaded shower stall becomes a portal to oceanic wonder. This long-form poem is a 'palimpsest' of moments-avoiding crab pincers, chasing moonlight over sand flats, and tracing the pulse of marine life, from razor clams to ancient horseshoe crabs. It’s a Zenlike immersion in breath, memory, grief, and gratitude, marked by strokes and briny whispers: 'kick kick...my reflections silver plankton.' With crystalline language and elemental imagery, this is not just a swim-it’s a lifelong dive into mortality, love, and the sea’s salty, spirit-shaping embrace.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    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....

  • Among the Coal Dust
