Sobre IBD

Passage of Something is a novel compilation of forty-nine titles (some of which are not poems in the strict sense). Their aim is to offer a portrait of us as human beings, taking a look at our intense, sometimes bizarre, and even troubled relationship with time and place, although they frequently give a slant on other wider issues, injecting wit and incisive comment in surprising contexts. They could also be considered to be a portal into the author’s very personal view of the contemporary world we have no choice but to inhabit.

    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....
