Sobre IBD

Most people see the world as it is meant to be, but a fortunate few see things a bit off-kilter. Ken Anderson is one of those lucky ones. Delectably offbeat, humorous, and tinged with just a touch of the absurd, The Stifled Piper and Other Strange Characters reflects his quirky views in verse.Inspired by everyday life but magnified with a vivid imagination, Anderson’s world is populated by memorable title characters, including: 'The Stifled Piper', whose wife tamed his fearsome bagpipe playing with cotton and oatmeal; 'The Frozen Skier', on a midwinter, cross-country ski vacation in Winthrop, Washington; and 'The Caledonian Chopper', a demon terrorizing the roads astride his hellish motorbike.You’ll laugh, you’ll scratch your head, and you’ll look at your every day with a refreshingly light-hearted irreverence.

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.
