Sobre IBD

Free verse, for the most part. Poetry that’s organic in inspiration and yet rigorously shaped. For the most part, straightforward, understandable writing. Very few 'puzzle' poems that need to be deciphered in order to comprehend their meaning. Themes? Generally, those of modern lyric poetry. Occasionally gay subject matter; in one or two instances, topical. Not didactic. Not humorous except perhaps now and then. Character driven, many of the poems. 'Serious poetry for serious minds.' Yes.
