Sobre IBD

In his second volume, Larry Levy celebrates poetic creation with a variety of traditional and modern forms of verse. He deliberates about Art, Beauty, Love, Justice, Immortality and God, and finds consolation in the precise ordering of words on a page. As he says, “And when God gives such a generous knack/To the fortunate who worship and pray/For the aesthetic to come their way/It is only fair to give something back.” His catharsis becomes the reader's catharsis. And for those who demand meaning and substance from their poetry, “The Catharsis of Form” is a worthy example.

    ‘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....
