Sobre IBD

'As one re-reads Marjorie’s poems, which have airy beginnings usually in breath, voice, intimation, they grow increasingly concrete until situations, relationships, and feelings are palpable and deeply moving.' --A.R. Ammons'She returns again and again to the ways body becomes landscape and landscape becomes body, internal and external repeatedly merging with one another.'--Andrew Hudgins'What a range of richness.... We are left with a sense of uprightness and aspiration, a memorable voice, and of our own worlds, and selves surprised, deepened and lifted toward a larger meaning.'--Robert Morgan'The Poems do indeed stand up straight and demand notice....beautiful signposts for her readers, so that we may draw near and follow, and make some confident sense of the mysterious maze in there.'--Leon Stokesbury (contest judge)

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

    Edward V Bonner
