Sobre IBD

'The Perry Square Gospels', an utterly strange and beguiling collection from Geoff Peterson, is a study in mortality and the religion of lost childhood--made available by visiting the shrines of one’s youth, either in pilgrimage or in memory. Peterson sings what ancient Homer knew: that you must go home and beat the baddest ass in memory before you are free.

    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....
