Sobre IBD

'Foyle’s poems carry on in the tradition of Derek Walcott, there can be no doubt. But make no mistake, these are original and thoughtful insights by a talented and sensitive poet, writing from his own cultural perspective. I was particularly struck by how Foyle’s poems engaged all my senses. In the Beyond the Caribbean section that introduces the collection, Adonal Foyle goes on to give us insights into his years as an athlete, his travels, and his views on politics - all in verse. I look forward to more poetry from Adonal Foyle, Golden State Warriors #31, retired.'Tom Meschery, author of Nothing You Lose Can Be Replaced, Some Men, and Sweat: New and Selected Poems about Sports.

    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. 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....
