Sobre IBD

In this collection of one hundred poems, author Daddy Dave leaves a legacy for his son in honor of his twenty-ninth birthday. This compilation represents a group of stories, thoughts, observations, and beliefs that reflects the memories, concepts, and philosophies of the family. Written in free-verse, non-rhyming style, many of the poems convey the magic bond between father and son, as shown in 'Here’s to Expi.' / I was at the top / of the gravel driveway, / slowed some, / and then casually asked, / 'Son, can you keep a secret?' / 'Yes, Daddy.' / Then I braked hard, / pulled the car to the side of the road, / stopped, / looked at you / straight in the eyes, / and followed with: / 'Will you?'/ This intentionally dramatized / follow-up and serious / question / caught you off guard, / but you paused, / thought it through for a moment, / and then humbly replied, / 'Yes, Daddy.' /The Twenty-Ninth Poem: Vol. 1 demonstrates the love and admiration poet Daddy Dave has for his now-grown son and is intended for him, to be passed down, dwelled upon, thought through, and remembered.

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...

    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.
