Sobre IBD

In 2004 I made my first trek to Santiago de Compostela walking 1000 miles from Le-Puy-en-Velay in Southeastern France. Through journal extracts and walking poems Upon This Stoney Holy Year tells the story of rambling across the South of France, crossing the Pyrénées, and hiking across the North of Spain to Santiago, to the finality of the Sea - and after all those many footsteps and miles - to Thich Nhat Hanh's Plum Village Monastery in the Aquitaine Region of France to sit... to be still, and to practice the intention of enlightened living. While Sons of Thunder and Autumn on the Trail to Santiago celebrate a much longer journey spanning seasons and 2000 miles of trails, they also reflect the experience gained from having made the Pilgrimage before. Having no prior knowledge, Upon This Stoney Holy Year is a simpler piece of work. There are no Formal E-mails, no Definitions, no Autobiography or Research here. And because of all that it is not, this book completes those first two in the pilgrimage series in a gentle way.

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....
