Sobre IBD

It’s a book of poems written while in exile for four months from my home due to storm damage. I was reading Dante’s Inferno and began imagining a correspondence between Dante’s wanderings and my own. Except 'The Dips' doesn’t have an axe to grind. Imagine a poet without an axe to grind. It feels like the man’s last look around.

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....
