Sobre IBD

Angry and satirical, yet tender, Paul Sutton's poetic tour through fast food outlets tells us much about where we, and our society are now. ' The Sorry History of Fast Food moved me deeply. It’s an elegy to all that we lost through modernity, a quiet mapping of the disorientation and atomisation that we feel. The poetry itself is a kind of yearning for unity. There’s something disturbing about the way Sutton puts words together - like some great broken structure lies behind it all. Intimacy perhaps. (Ewan Morrison)'

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

  • The Poetry of Gin and Tea
    Paul Sutton
    'To me, literature only works when freedoms of thought and expression are seen as essentials to liberty and life. That obviously isn’t true in our culture where - at best - a crushing elite tolerates ’me speech’ but not free speech. Many have suffered at their hands. I fictionalise my own experiences in The Poetry of Gin and Tea. Those misappropriated drinks represent something...

    The book is entitled Life’s Choices. Life is about choices. Indeed, all of life, all of creation, is about choices. This book is written as an inclusio. An inclusio is a format where the beginning and the ending form bookends; the book begins and ends in the same basic place. It begins at the paradise of creation. It ends in the new creation. It is an apologetic. An apologetic ...

    Paul Sutton
    The unadorned language of Jack the Stripper ranges from the bitter comedy of monologues like ’His Story’ to the touching pathos of the elegy ’Gone Below’ and the vision of lost pastoral in ’Mud and Sun’, taking in, en route, a hilarious skit of Arthur Conan Doyle. The speaker in these poems spares no-one - least of all himself - and presents a vision of contemporary life in whi...
