Sobre IBD

This is Michael Smith’s first collection since his Collected Poems of 2009, and is an elegiac volume. As the author says: 'Let me try to define prayer as I am using it here. It is a voice in the head, ours and not ours. It speaks in words we scarcely understand. Unstoppable, unless distracted by our quotidian pursuits. Beckett said it thus: ’All poetry, as discriminated from the various paradigms of prosody is prayer.’ Enigmatic, but what else would one expect from Beckett? Essentially, I perceive prayer as a form of homage or ’recognition’-the other word used by Beckett.'

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....
