Sobre IBD

These are poems and paintings which reflect the poet’s struggle to make order out of chaos. For years, Mikdadi has struggled for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. At different junctures in his life, his despair at the intransigence of both sides and at the sheer cruelty of what Palestinians have had to endure, led him to write poetry and, occasionally, to paint in watercolours. These are some of the poems and paintings that he produced during his life. They speak for themselves.Maeve Binchy felt that Faysal Mikdadi’s passion makes his poetry impossible to ignore.There is also a black and white version of this colour book also published by Lulu. It has been printed because this colour version, being printed entirely in colour, was deemed a trifle expensive. The black and white version allows readers to afford a copy. This colour version has also been published as an e-book.

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.

  • 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....
