Sobre IBD

Man did not make this world.Man cannot break this world. When life hands you lemons, you paint that shit gold. Manyresidents of the United States who traveled outside theirborders for a vacation against racial, socio-political, andeconomic violence in 2020 brought gold spray paint, glitter,confetti, and ribbons with which to bedazzle their lemons.Africa called me, I answered.On my own journey, I turned towards the unknown, whichmeant either adventure and excitement or disaster andconsequence.So, faced with a dilemma, I solved the riddle. I decidedevery day would be adventure and excitement. Any disaster orconsequence would become an opportunity to learn from whatlife decided to show me.And once I made up my mind on this, the four-year reign ofterror in my life otherwise known as writer’s block finallylifted and allowed me passage.We humans are social creatures, not islands. Even theloners and introverts cannot survive inside a vacuum withtheir sanity intact.The world is a better place when we live and thrive inharmony. Thank you to those who made my world a betterplace to live.

  • Polishing the Silver
    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.
