Sobre IBD

Thirty-nine Poems is Eugene’s second book of poetry after Venice and Other Poems, which he published in 2011.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    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....
