Sobre IBD

Swans is Francis Vielé-Griffinʼs second book of poetry. It was originally published (as Les Cygnes in French) in 1887. This edition is based on the 'new series' that came out in 1892. Originally born in the U.S.A., Griffin (1864-1937) emigrated to France in 1872 with his mother. He is widely regarded today as one of Franceʼs leading Symbolist poets.In addition to the poetry of Swans, this book also contains in English translation, in the appendix, the extant text of chapter 1 (book 2) of Francis Vielé-Griffin: His Work, His Thought, His Art, by Jean de Cours. According to Jean de Cours, '...that which revealed an entirely original poetic temperament in F. Vielé-Griffin was, in addition to his so personal form, his feeling for nature. It seemed veritably like a ʻbreath of fresh airʼ... [but] it is not only Nature that F. Vielé-Griffin confesses a sensibility for, it is above all the charms of the countryside... As with his feelings for nature, so with his desire for joy, so with his conception of art... From his very first verses, the idea of beauty is affirmed by F. Vielé-Griffin as entirely new... The entirety of that collection of poems contained in Swans - 'At Helenʼs Tomb' - confides to us, through the transparent veils that the symbol dons, the idea of Beauty that the poet creates for himself. Beauty is clearly a happy proportion, a plastic harmony of forms: but it is also more than that... Helen, in whom the poet incarnates veritable Beauty, is another thing again, she is much more. She is alternately the face of joy, love, hope...'

    ‘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....
