Sobre IBD

Seeking to Make the World Anew is a collection of poems that confront the crisis of modern society, that yearn for change, and that wonder about what kind of social order might replace the one we have. This compilation serves as a testament of the author’s agonizing encounters with the degradations, insults, and diseases that this world abounds in-and expresses his awe at how people come together and seek solutions through struggle.
