Sobre IBD

Songs of Sadness is a volume of long poems featuring Josie Delgado: A Poem of the Central Valley but ranging from grief to memory, from historical violence to inheritance, and reflections on artistic lineage. The poetry makes a distinction between private poems and public work. The private poems assert that private poetic practice can harbor a writer’s most powerful material. The poet places the poems in a lineage that reaches back to the Iliad but includes reference to St. John Perse and Derek Walcott-that positions the volume within a lineage of epic, extended poetic writing.
