Sobre IBD

Patricia Clark’s poems immerse the reader in the living world through the quality of her attention and appreciation. There’s hard-won intelligence here. We see it in people sharing a meal and being especially kind to each other after a suicide: lots of please and thanks / as we handed food around / basket of steaming bread / for buttering. Always, there is a deep understanding of our interconnections, as in the lovely and evocative final stanza of 'Near the Tea House at Meijer Japanese Garden,' now tracing a pale blue vein / under the skin like a leaf’s midrib. We would do well to take Patricia Clark’s guidance: The charge: note what is here, what departs.            -Ellen Bass, Indigo

    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....
