Sobre IBD

Mike O’Brien’s first book of poetry is the result of years of disciplined effort. His work examines the condition of man, starting from when our ancestors’ gestural language turned into spoken, and then written, communication. O’Brien’s work is wise and thoughtful, concentrating on the human condition in our own epoch, between the first speaker of the language and the last.

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.
