Sobre IBD

In this his third volume of poems, Trinidad-born poet Rene A. Martin continues his poetic quest for truth into those regions where it is often obscured by shadow. He delineates its contours and, in the process, demonstrates that even in the realm of darkness, truth can still retain its integrity.Section one, 'Annecy Suite', is a collection of poems inspired by a summer spent in this French resort town.Section two, 'Shroud', plunges unflinchingly into the heart of darkness to confront its contradictions and betrayals.Section three, 'Penumbra', is the most reflective grouping of poems. Several deal with political themes and the ethics of social institutions.Section four, 'Night', contains poems of a more meditative nature. The appeal of darkness is acknowledged and its implications confronted, not without a touch of ironic humor.

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....
