Sobre IBD

''What does being a hopeless romantic mean to you? To some, hopeless romantics are naïve people who shamelessly wear rose-tinted goggles and believe in an idealised version of romance, despite all evidence and experience to the contrary. To others, hopeless romantics are sentimental, sensitive folk who care deeply and love with passion and gusto.It certainly seems like the art of sentimentalism is becoming lost to the world. We are drowning in oceans of instant gratification and commercialism. Take a break from our reality for a little while and enjoy some short poems that relish what it means to be alive through the enjoyable and unpleasant.''

  • 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. 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....
