Sobre IBD

These poems were written to embolden, invigorate, and hearten. This fresh, raw, and honest poetry collection invites you to step inside the human heart: beating, alive, vulnerable, broken, healed, on the verge of sudden death, and ultimately, loved. Olivia Walker’s poems are culled from a million sharp fragments, one slicing at the imagination, another soothing the soul, and all coming together to transcend the exterior and interior of skin and bones. The topics delve into OCD, anxiety and mental health, sexual assault, as well as healing, empowerment, strength, and resilience. Walker’s collection is independent therapy. It is medicine for a heart.

  • 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....

  • The Swan In The Orange Skirt
    Olivia Walker
    This is a memoir written in third-person limited narration. The form of narration allows for safe distance; a divide between myself and the protagonist, and a separation between the text and my experiences. The story is entirely personal, underlining and addressing OCD, anxiety, sexual assault, childhood trauma, and body dysmorphia (trigger warning). She shares her life and tho...
