Sobre IBD

Like as the Hart, (from the Book of Common Prayer 1662, Psalm 42. Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks) seeks to express the sense of longing that so often fills the mind and heart: there are thoughts that logic and reason cannot explain. Art, music and poetry take us into a world where we may escape from the unanswerable and still experience a reality. How real are dreams, visions and the imagination? How telling is symbolism in literature?These poems are lyrical and interested in word music. They may hint at narrative but will certainly be interested in atmosphere and mystery. They may echo other well known lines or even have flickers of a humour. There will be sorrow and joy along with a love of nature, human touch and human compassion.

    ‘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....
