Sobre IBD

This book is about what most poetry books are about. Death, Life, Birth, the Sun, Flowers, Love - that kind of thing. It even has a few butterflies in it. Originally I thought about including a very nice poem I had about a noble Indian looking out toward the horizon with a tear in his eye. But I decided to leave that one out. Also I had a really poignant poem about a lighthouse. It was guiding a boat full of terrified orphans to safety. I left that one out too. I’d like to say that this book will cause you to see ordinary things in a new way, but how would I know? I have no idea how you already see things. The truth is that these poems might corrupt your mind.

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 Ontology of I/Thou
    Jay Edson
    This is an autobiography of sorts. My primary agenda, though, is not to give the reader a coherent account of my life. Rather I use my recollections of an odd assortment of intense experiences as jumping off points for some philosophical and religious reflections. The experiences are always as much about someone else as they are about me - hence the emphasis on I/Thou. It shou...
