Sobre IBD

BUILD YOUR OWN LOTUS Decisions being made right now will determine if the earth will be habitable for humans in the near future. Corporate greed has scarred our beloved Eden for centuries, but one can make the choice to live in joy, to rejoice in the beauty that survives. Thich Nhat Hahn said 'No mud, no lotus'. We can wallow in the mud and muck of our worrisome world, or we create lotus blossoms with a life of hope and creativity.

    ‘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....
