Sobre IBD

'Writing so visceral that the reader’s 'fingers itch for color,' mouth spits, 'knows crawling inside,' feet dodge 'sticky floor   rattle and scuttle,' and eyes watch green shoots grow taller, open, 'scenting the room like something wild, something wonderful.' Exceptional window into the world of a precocious child who struggles to find hope in spite of a 'crazy ma,' 'steel-eyed grandma,' and a father who dangles moments of beauty within the kid’s grasp only to snatch them away again.'                                                     Jayne Garrett 'The poems in Eve Rifkah’s 'One Kid, a Telling' offer a compelling look at childhood through the long lens of time and mature wisdom. The pieces in this understated but powerful collection capture the tiny, ordinary tragedies of one family’s life, along with moments of grace that glow like sunshine breaking through the clouds.' Charles Coe - author, 'Memento Mori' 'Rifkah has created a fierce and unflinching collection of poetry. This is gut punch work. The language seems to be simple, but its sneaky and unexpected. I have always loved her work, but holy hell, this work is outstanding. It will take your breath away.' David Macpherson - author of 'Gin and Tonics Across Worcester,' 'Not a Day For Miracles,'

  • 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....

  • Lost In Sight
    Eve Rifkah
    Lost in Sight is poetry that excites, soothes, and most of all commands attention. It is a masterful weaving of the concept of what is lost, what never was. If you see the poems on the page, you’ll see that the words, the lines, even the tender or crushing ideas, are broken with gaps like the poems themselves have irregular heartbeats.  Rifkah’s canvas stretches from Li Po to ...
