Sobre IBD

Under the Music is cause for celebration, as it gathers over forty years of Maxine Chernoff’s brilliant exploration of a single form: the prose poem.  Her pieces abound in witty dialogue, absurdist jokes, sage advice, and a gallery of eccentric characters like “The Man Struck Twenty Times by Lightning,” or “The Woman Who Straddled the Globe.”

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....

  • Without
    Maxine Chernoff
    The series of poems in Maxine Chernoff’s Without are elegiac brushstrokes, each somewhat feathery and brushing in more than one direction, which creates tension and unexpected arrivals as well as departures: someone or something is missing. Parts of the world are wavering and parts have disappeared. What remains is treated in the subtle management of the lines without a hint of...
