Sobre IBD

Mark Young’s The Advantages of Cable focuses on unexpected losses of focus, sudden changes in focal length, and spontaneous cracks in the lens, cracks that fracture, negate or enhance our immediate experience. Our 'habitat' is over-defined, and not hospitable, but these sudden tricks of light (or of mind) produce visions of flying ostriches, angry crows, and blood-drinking salamanders: moments when 'everybody freezes' and starts speaking 'the language of the gypsies,' all the 'small things' that open us up to losing 'all track' of the fatal limitations of our 'habitat.' Reading Mark’s poems is like getting stuck in the revolving door of Marshall Fields, Myer, Selfridge’s, or any large department store. We suddenly realize we’re stuck, recognize our situation very differently than we did ten seconds ago, and can hear each of Mark’s poems as the tink of a ball peen hammer on the glass, trying to free us. - Scott MacLeod

    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....
