Sobre IBD

MARTIAN DESERT AFTERNOON is an impressionistic collection of 'poetic statements' about America, places and people, in the last half of the Twentieth Century-observations, impressions, descriptions. All of which contain perceptive insight on what is sometimes referred to as 'Many a Vanished Sight...' There are moments when the perceptions seem almost at the point of madness, but generally the work is a sort of wandering psychedelic journey across America. And, at times, 'into America...'

  • 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....

    In his interpretation of Antigone, Seamus Heaney says, ‘Nobody can be sure they are always right.’ Maureen O’Shaughnessy’s The Truth about A further attends to this idea through various readings of the myth as portrayed by Sophocles, Brecht, Ted Hughes, Anne Carson and, most particularly, Euripides. Set in contemporary Sydney, among a fictional underworld family, The Truth abou...

  • He Caught the Westbound
    Dayton Lummis
    “He caught the westbound” is an old American hobo expression for someone who has departed from this life. In the case of this book it is employed to be symbolic of a passing American way of life and the people who created that. We live in troubled times, and the author often uncomfortably reminds us so. Yet positive travel experiences relieve the pessimism wherein the author sa...

  • DEATH BY DEVICE
    Dayton Lummis
    The author freely admits that 'devices' are not all bad. For better or worse they have changed the world. But this book ranges far from the subject of the effects of 'devices,' often into areas distinctly 'politically incorrect.' Some commentary is amusing; others might be seen as 'disturbing.' This is a good companion book for your 'one-way trip to Mars!' Read it, and you will...

  • Fly Me to the Moon
    Dayton Lummis
    To some this collection of commentary and observations-fourth in what now must be called 'The Notational Quartet'-might seem as remote as the proverbial 'Man in the Moon.' But the reader will find it very relevant to the changing and troubled times that we find ourselves in. The author has steered the reader and vessel to a distant and little known shore, where hope for return ...
