Sobre IBD

A Peri - a beautiful spirit of the air, exiled from Heaven - lingers weeping at the gate of Eden. She may enter, an angel tells her, if she brings the gift that is dearest to Heaven.So she wanders the earth in search of it: the last drop of a hero’s blood, the dying sigh of a faithful lover, and at last the tear of a repentant sinner - the one offering that unlocks the everlasting gates.Paradise and the Peri is the best-loved of the four verse tales in Thomas Moore’s Lalla Rookh (1817), the lush oriental romance that took Europe by storm and gave Robert Schumann his great choral work. This Lightbound Library edition sets the complete poem - the prose story of the Princess Lalla Rookh and her poet Feramorz, framing all four of his tales: The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan, Paradise and the Peri, The Fire-Worshippers, and The Light of the Haram.This is a Lightbound Library edition from Solocosmo Press, fronted by an original cover painting by Jessica von Braun.

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...

    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....
