Sobre IBD

As Fady Joudah states in his praise for Stacy R. Nigliazzo, “[The] many arresting poems in Sky the Oar row us through many life and death narratives, through the medical gaze: American in their specificity, universal in their compassion.” These brief, lyric poems by emergency room nurse Nigliazzo strip story down to the essential words, speaking volumes in less than a breath. In three erasure poems, she tells the story of a friend’s murder in words buried within a news article. Kevin Prufer adds, “Stacy R. Nigliazzo writes of sickness, pain, love and beauty with enormous precision and skill. The result is one of the most moving poetry books I have read in years.”

    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....
