Sobre IBD

The first part of this book retells the Old Testament book of Daniel in alliterative verse, the time-honored form for hero tales. The form may be old, but the modern narrative voice delivers drama and fresh insights as the 12 chapters of Daniel unfold. Reviewers agree that this 57-page poem should be read aloud for greatest impact. Part 2 of the volume contains shorter metrical poems that are meditations on the Christian faith. Many are based on New Testament stories; some are inspired by the liturgy of the Church. The Sacraments are an important theme. Part 2 concludes with a final alliterative poem, ''As with One Mouth,'' a new rendering of the Song of the Three Young Men.

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

    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....
