Sobre IBD

A Slow Blues, Poems 1972-2012, brings together poems from David Cooke’s three previous collections alongside A Virtual Tour, a sequence of more recent poems. In the words of William Bedford, writing in Agenda: ’The ghosts of a West of Ireland family haunt these poems, but Cooke is not treading ground already made familiar by others. Growing up in England, he is a poet whose ’making strange’ grows naturally out of his exile between two countries. After a long silence, David Cooke has burst back into life, in a welcome and gifted performance.

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....
