Sobre IBD

'God announces himself with fire / only because we have invented darkness, / and when we try to emulate him, / our own announcements - beacons / lit across the forty thousand generations of the age of fire / - take the form of tower blocks burning in the night, / nuclear detonations turning the desert to glass, / concentration camp chimneys, / the ramparts of glaciers collapsing into the sea'.As the imperatives imposed on us by climate change grow ever more urgent, and world leaders gather in Glasgow at COP26 for what may be our last chance to correct the course we are on, this collection of poetry from Glaswegian poet Peter Clive reflects on how we arrived in this situation, and adds its author’s voice to our collective plea for a sustainable future in balance with our environment.

    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....
