Sobre IBD

In these poems spanning the writing career of a top-notch poet, Brad Davis wrestles with darkness and celebrates the luminosity of the natural world. He grapples with the difficulties of faith in a cynical world. For the most part, he faces life with a cautious optimism. The poetry here is clear and graceful; it hits the mark. This is the work of a mature poet confident in his craft.

    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family.

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

    Edward V Bonner
