Sobre IBD

The Story of Stories is lamentation poetry about why our stories were colonised, demonised, and lastly destroyed. It challenges victims of colonisation to wake up and recoup their bungled and fangled narratives alongside their history based on their factuality, historicity, and naturality. It chides victims to write their histories and tell their stories instead reading and telling the stories their vanquisher miswrote and misconstrued to bolster damnation and domination.

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....

  • Epistle To Afrophobic South Africa
    Nkwazi N. Mhango
    When many African countries ganged up against the white apartheid regime, nobody thought Black South Africans, in a jiffy, would barbarously unleash Afrophobia against their own Blacks brethren they derogatorily call makwerekwere or foreigners. This poesy chides South Africans and Africans who failed to unite Africa. The Epistle ticks off all who take pride in their fake and fe...
