Sobre IBD

Published seven years after her debut collection A Dome of Many-Coloured Glasses, Pictures of the Floating World (1919), is another dazzling volume of poetry from the Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Amy Lowell. Divided into two sections; Pictures of the Floating World finds inspiration from both Japanese and Chinese poetry, with Lowell trying her hand at the hokku and Chinoiserie. In poems like 'Reflections' and 'Falling Snow,' Lowell paints delicate pictures of experiencing nature, with stanzas such as, 'When I looked into your eyes / I saw a garden / With peonies, and tinkling pagodas / And round-arched bridges,' and, 'The snow whispers about me / And my wooden clogs / Leave holes behind me in the snow / But no one will pass this way.' And in the second section, 'Planes of Personality,' Lowell treads familiar ground with over a dozen lyrical poems, written just after the publication of her second collection, Sword Blades and Poppy Seed and up to April 1919. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition Amy Lowell’s Pictures of the Floating World is a classic work of American poetry reimagined for modern readers.

    ‘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....
