Sobre IBD

Rhymes, Crimes, and Other Pastimes is an anthology of selected original poetry and short stories by the author spanning 40 years, and is divided into three sections: ''RHYMES'' consists of poignant, sometime-hilarious narratives and anecdotes characterizing the lives and experiences of the types of people we’d likely find in any small town: farmers, town drunks, village idiots, drifters, loners, outsiders, beggars, the unemployed, the infirmed, etc. This section also includes stories of ghosts, enchanted creatures, magical justice, fairy tales, and more. ''CRIMES'' is an original collection of eleven hair-raising, sleep-depriving, nail-biting short stories of horror, suspense, murder, and the supernatural that will keep you turning the pages for a ''hauntingly good time!'' ''OTHER PASTIMES'' provides a variety of freeform and metered poetry addressing everything from love, misunderstanding, disappointment, hope, and many observations of the people, places and things that the author has written about and published over a lifetime of living and traveling around the world.

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....
