Sobre IBD

’The intersection of theology and poetry is a charged zone of encounter and, if I may say it, discipline. Yet there’s a generosity and a lightness to Milbank’s verse: a concinnity both within, and within, the now, the lyric moment of generous apprehension, which aligns these taut lyrics with the sensibility of Traherne. 'Ripeness rustles,' but it is brightness that reigns here, among 'alien and yet familiar creatures,' a jackdaw, an escaped jaguar in a wood, a white cat in autumn, 'beech-mulch' that 'sings silently.' These radiant poems overflow with creation and gratitude.’ -G.C. Waldrep

    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family.

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....
