Sobre IBD

'Mary Leader’s The Wood That Will Be Used is a tour de force exemplifying what results from a lifetime of labor in the word, a lifetime of one’s poring over rich literary texts, and of one’s developing the habit of one’s offering answering texts; it also manifests a capacious mind shaped by wit, by candor, and by a keen eye. Receiving the matter prepared for her, she has shaped a beautiful structure that will serve her and us for the journey beyond. If Philip Larkin and H.D. were to have been blessed with a literary child, that child would be Mary Leader.' -Scott CairnsFrom reviews of Mary Leader’s previous work, The Distaff Side (Shearsman Books, 2022):'The Distaff Side is a fascinating, multi-layered book, beautiful to hold and to read.' -Mandy Pannett, for Tears in the Fence'The final spindle ends in a cipher: the word ’Mother’ in decorative capitals, with a floral sprig beneath it: a device that might appear on a transfer sheet for embroidery - or on a headstone.' -Anna Reckin

  • 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 Distaff Side
    Mary Leader
    'Needlework, as this brilliant book makes plain, has been trivialized and dismissed as mere 'women’s work.' The poems here, however, present the powerful counterpoint that work with the needle, from the flame-stitch to embroidery, is both a skill and a foundation for female artistic expression.  It is a hands-on art, passed from woman to woman through the generations. Such pass...

  • She Lives There Still
    Mary Leader
    She Lives There Still is Mary Leader’s second collection with Shearsman Books. In some senses, it is an extension of her previous Shearsman volume, Beyond the Fire, in that it reinforces what John Muckle in PN Review described as “The overall impression is of a mind that’s acute, musical and subtle being brought to bear on everyday life.” In other senses, it seeks radically to ...

  • Beyond the Fire
    Mary Leader
    The work in Mary Leader’s third collection, Beyond the Fire, does not conform to any one habitation, nor aesthetic persuasion, nor name. On the contrary, just about every poem invents its own territory and its own terms. Some poems are straightforward narratives, while others repeat spells and castings. Many are figural; some are classical; some even aspire to anonymity. The bo...
