Sobre IBD

'These poems are the waves emanating from the gravitational fall of my runs by the Eno river,' writes James Applewhite, 'and other travels, into a self I could not otherwise know. They are my repetitive song of belief in the possibility of presence in language.'From 'Observing the Sun':On a bank overlooking the Eno,I feel us as lightly alignedAs heads of the Queen Anne’s lace,Their congregation of angles.Red sun, dilated, has us allIn its sights.Against its horizon,I spread my arms like a road signTo mark earth where we are.Originally published in 1988.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

  • 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.
