Sobre IBD

In Truisms II, Alexander Theroux revisits a favorite subject of his-a second volume of original insights he calls 'truisms'-each one a repository of what he believes to be the inevitable or irresistible ever-fixed marks he has observed over a lifetime of reading, thinking, and writing.While a truism’s insistent authenticity lends it an air of dogma, this quality can also make it controversial and invite scorn. These vigorous truths, in a sense, compel or even tyrannize the reader, presenting an imperative that demands belief. As the Prologue in this new volume explains, the truisms confront the individual to challenge or contest them as fact.Much like its 2022 predecessor Truisms, this is a book that will resonate for generations to come.

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. 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....

    A unique work in Theroux’s canon, Truisms distills a lifetime of observation and reading into thousands of rhyming quatrains, a Rubaiyat for our times. It is a compendium of universal truths, witty aphorisms, personal opinions, wise maxims, sardonic insults, cranky complaints, abrupt advice, and believe-it-or-not factoids that only he could assemble.
