Sobre IBD

Skin Splitting, Bryanna Licciardi's debut poetry collection, ventures to the dark side—of humor, of cultural history, of being a woman today—and turns on a light for us, triumphantly exposing a body rife with flaws and obsessions. Licciardi doesn’t just laugh at her fears—she tries to date them. Drawing from quirky news and history, shameful coming of age memories, and imagined dates with serial killers, these poems consume everything. From the mundane to the insane, Licciardi devours both fact and fantasy down to a shining carcass of truth. Skin Splitting was a finalist for the international 2016 RL Poetry Award and was “highly commended” by the 2016 Fool for Poetry International Chapbook Competition. Licciardi's poem "Pack," included in this collection, was nominated for a 2017 Pushcart Prize by Inklette Magazine. This collection delivers a feminist, hilarious, strange, and much-needed voice to the modern reader.

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....
