Sobre IBD

A book that recaptures the heart of romance. A syntactic meditation on love.What if 'romance' is not a genre but a way the world glows at the edges?In 'The romances and other poems,' Micah Cavaleri turns the lyric into a field of small, flickering enchantments: yellow leaves and green nests, warblers and grandmothers, rivers and deserts, all refracted through parenthetical asides and shifts of color, voice, and thought. These poems move like someone talking under their breath to a friend and to God and to the landscape at the same time-tender, odd, and quietly stunned by the fact of being here at all.Across dedications, fairytales, prayers, and fractured narratives, Cavaleri writes out the romance of attention itself: how a phrase can tilt, how a word in parentheses can open a second world beside the first. 'The romances and other poems' is a book of luminous fragments and gentle estrangements, where language keeps reaching, stuttering, and singing toward a love it can almost-but not quite-say.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family.

  • 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....

He presents us with fragments that tell the story of a life in a way that can only be experienced directly: 'A reflection on a moment of my experience, even looking at a long story from the years of my life, is a fragment (or fragments, fragmentary) at most. A written account of life is always only a fragment. A w...
