Sobre IBD

Poetry for the after-hours, later than the night. With ''Smoke Rings'', John Pietaro, a writer whose work is impassioned with the literature of rebellion, the heritage of noir and the urbanity downtown, presents his debut chapbook, a terse, dark and sometimes satirical homage to New York at night. ''Smoke Rings'' encompasses the edge of the city’s creative tapestry, its free jazz, punk culture, radical verse, bold performance and revolutionary politics casting the vision. Plainly put, here’s a collection of works from just beneath the underground.CONTENTS: Haze/5:03AM (for Steve Dalachinsky)/Discreet Foundlings of Quiet Places (for the Velvet Underground)/Blue (for Miles)/Dancing to Incessant June (for Bern Nix)/The People of Night/Impressions (for Coltrane)/Langston/Sonic Incursion/Robert Quine on the Rocks/The Lonely (for Ornette)/Conjured and Cast (for Kenneth Fearing)/Burroughs Inferno/Now’s the Time That Wasn’t/Chordal Clouds & Whispers (for Ran Blake)/The Late-Night Breakfast Special

    ‘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....

  • Innocent Postcards
    John Pietaro
    John Pietaro’s latest collection might be referred to as 'neo-modernist' in its reach-both backward and forward, with each phrase a full, radical grab. Innocent Postcards recalls the socio-political poison of the red scares, 1919 through the Cold War, as much as it celebrates visions, memories, emotions and the fight-back of the century. And still.Within you’ll ponder black-and...

  • The Mercer Stands Burning
    John Pietaro
    The Mercer Stands Burning, the groundbreaking collection of poems by John Pietaro, is 'for New York', as he says in the dedication. These amazing poems are influenced by Jazz and the Beats - Miles and Coltrane, and the late Steve Dalachinsky as well, for whom he dedicates the poem '5:03 AM'. But Melville is very much alive in these pages, too. Check out the poem 'Max of 10th Av...
