Sobre IBD

“The Purloined Letter has a dolorous stately piercing almost martial music, like an Elizabethan court dance or Miles Davis in his electric period.” —Edwin FrankComments on the author’s previous collections include:“…as Papageorgiou’s curious, delightful book reminds us (and as Dionne Warwick once observed), a house is not a home; it’s always just a little un-familiar, just slightly beyond our easy occupation. Which is precisely what draws us to the door, to the briefly lighted windows.”  —David Orr, New York Times Book Review

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....

  • When You Said No, Did You Mean Never?
    Fani Papageorgiou
    'Fani Papageorgiou gives us a poetry in which 'almost everything happens in language' yet what is crucial is precisely what’s covered by that harsh little word 'almost,' and in which 'empty space is affected by gravity': the empty space is that of the human heart. This kaleidoscopic sequence of searing fragments marks the arrival of an outstanding poet.' -Barry Schwabsky ...
