Sobre IBD

This collection of poems divides into three section: Rocks, Roads, and Reflections. Rocks--mountains--sometimes they are literal ones like Chimney Rock or Jump Off Rock, or Brasstown Bald that, in the writer’s experience, provide jumping off points for speaking of various aspects of faith. Other times they are symbolic 'rocks,' people who encourage us in our faith journeys. Roads--ones like Saluda Grade, the Dragon’s Tail, or the streets we’ve lived on--help describe paths we take, the life of faith a part of them all. The final section of the book comprises Reflections and describes something of the author’s journey of faith throughout decades of life and ministry. Within this section are numerous poems related to Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter that prove valuable for seasonal inspiration. The author hopes that the book encourages readers to ponder their own 'rocks' in the faith as well as the roads they may have traveled. Additionally, she hopes her reflections invite the readers into ones of their own.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘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....

  • And Then There Were Grandchildren
    Shirley Biggerstaff Wright
    There’s nothing quite like the lineage we call family. For Wright, it seems but a blink of an eye since she sat watching her grandfather peel apples in a long strand or since she tasted the strawberry Jell-O her grandmother made and topped with fresh cream from the cow she milked that morning. But as is often the case, more time has passed for Wright than she cares to admit. Wi...

  • Chocolate Cake and Other Losses
    Shirley Biggerstaff Wright
    From early childhood--a spilled piece of chocolate cake--to the approach of the very end of our lives, there is a common theme: loss. In order to move ahead effectively, one must grieve that which has been lost; yet, rarely does our society allow appropriate time, space, and encouragement to grieve.
