Sobre IBD

A poetic survey from many perspectives, The Structure of the Body examines the human form, both as an anatomical and physiological system and as a metaphor for other dimensions of our lives. The book explores the body’s evolution, its vast array of organs, its role in our thinking and emotional life, and its complex and profound interface with both birth and death. These poems open a fresh and exciting vista on a familiar yet always mysterious subject.
