Sobre IBD

The poetry collection, Prisms, Particles, and Refractions, includes, “The Blue of Swimming Pools” the Franklin-Christoph 2010 Poetry Contest Award Winning pantoum; and “We Select” which placed in the Thirteenth Annual Ultra-Short Competition, University of Maine at Machias, 2016. The fourth collection is by Carol Smallwood, a multiple Pushcart nominee. Her Women on Poetry: Tips on Writing, Revising, Publishing and Teaching is on Poets & Writers Magazine List of Best Books for Writers. The foreword is by Lisa Zaran, poet, founder, and editor of Contemporary American Voices. Light has been studied since ancient times to contemporary quantum mechanics—we know that nothing travels faster. It is something we take for granted but once we begin to try and understand light, find it has many mysteries yet hidden. Prisms, Particles, and Refractions is a collection of free verse and formal poems aimed at capturing some of the aspects of light—light that our eyes detect and light also as metaphor. Most of the poems are serious but some have a pinch of humor found to help perspective. The seventy-three poems are divided into: Prelude; Prisms; Particles; Refractions; Epilogue.

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

    Edward V Bonner
