Sobre IBD

Comprising five conceptual journeys generated by Google Maps, ’The Road to N’Djamena’ proposes a new kind of psychogeography for the post-internet age: one which rejects the increasingly banal and ubiquitous motifs of conventional travel writing and re-introduces a world with (almost) unlimited possibilities. From Blaise Cendrars’ ’Transsiberien’ to Julio Cortazar’s trawl through the rest-stops of French autoroutes, the avant-garde has long sought to expand upon the traditional definition of ’journey’. The Road to N’Djamena finds new wildernesses within its paratexts, inviting its readers to contemplate the still-impossibly-exotic without ever leaving their seats.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

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....

  • NON-SONNETS

    NON-SONNETS placesprocrastination-trails on centre-stage. Split into 14-line segments, it captures and re-pastes the random, Google Search history results generated during periods in which the author had (unsuccessfully) committed to attempting to write a 'traditional' sonnet. Thus, it becomes both a visible record of an unwritten sonnet, and a sonnet-cycle in itself: encapsula...
