Sobre IBD

The Book Of Whimsies is a collection of gossamerthin poems in which you will find summer days and winternights, dragonflies and storm borne kites, buttered sconesand rusting tin, lost ships and weary hearts, green hills anduntied shoes, cups of tea and sleepless nights, and floatingabove a benign and melancholy moon. The poems arewhimsical, light, mysterious as whispers, sometimes sad,sometimes high, but nearly always told with the poignancyof loss, the echoes of love, and with the knowledge that awhim may just as easily lead to dark and unexpectedconsequences.
