Sobre IBD

The poet continues to draw his imagery from his familiar surroundings, from human behavior and interaction, from key elements in nature, including the skies and water and from flora and fauna alike. The bright side of life with hope as a dominant theme is reflected throughout the poems. No matter how complex, how conflicting, how intriguing or how hostile relations may sometimes appear to be—which underlie life’s leitmotif—a strong undercurrent of love essentially drives the cadenced rhythm of the verse. The beauty of the poems derives from chiaroscuro, the literary technique of balancing shade and light, gloom and hope to achieve balance as the basis for the poems’ natural flow from a hooting dusk to a bright dawn of eternal life and human aspirations.

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 Storm Wave’s Reach
    Felix Bongjoh
    A storm brews gyrating downward-pulling waves in its immediate surroundings and spills drizzles that may be felt far off in or away from a ship. On a shore. In the hinterland. It captures and mimics life which is ideally lived far away from the center of turbulence. And when there’s no choice, people flee uphill to higher elevations. They flee to distant islands, to other count...

  • Outskirts of Inner Bowl
    Felix Bongjoh
    Based on the psychological trauma of death, especially through war and violence, and its meaning to the afflicted, the poems in this book dwell primarily on various perceptions of death and the way it affects man. So difficult is the phenomenon of death to comprehend, that the bereaved heal only partially, constantly relapsing into a mourning mood. The book is a reflection on h...
