Sobre IBD

Travel is an inescapable part of existence. Most of us travel spatially between several places every day, near or far, and we all have journeys that we enjoy and journeys that we dread. But no one can avoid the travel through time that we all undergoing, all the time, no matter how much we might want to. This collection of poems is inspired by the emotions aroused by travel through both space and time, both real and imaginary. The title piece, Requiem for the Intercity 125, sets the tone for the whole volume, in that it describes a journey in space but also a passage through time, mixing together a yearning to retain present joys with apprehension about the future and a feeling of regret for something that is about to be lost.

    ‘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....
