Sobre IBD

Precision and mystery mingle and ripple through this beautiful collection of poems. As Julia Leverone paints landscapes, waterscapes and cityscapes in which human figures move darkly amid effects of light and space and time, to a meditative music, she brings you with her: 'you are the one seeing,' and you can say, with the poet, 'I am changed.' -Alicia Ostriker, author of The Old Woman, the Tulip, and the Dog***'Shouldering,' meaning 'what is lifted up'-Julia Leverone’s poems treat the serious weight of their themes with such clarity and ease it is as if the words themselves were transparent. That is to say, the poet’s language never gets in the way of the reality of her material; the truth of her language takes us there immediately, without burden. -Stanley Plumly, author of Orphan Hours***There are some kinds of stillness so actively in motion that we can hear a strong, steady breathing in there at all times, deep at some cellular level-these poems by Julia Leverone have that, and they make me feel entrusted to some enterprise very large indeed: a wisdom available only in our truest perceptions of the world. They work hard, with subtle and precise intensity, but never seem to break a sweat. Their fresh, complex reckonings move me. -David Rivard, author of Standoff

    ‘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....
