Sobre IBD

«El 8 de septiembre de 1785, día en que celebra la iglesia la Natividad de la Virgen Santísima Nuestra Señora, en vez de acudir al templo a rezar sus devociones, la desenfadada María Antonia Fernández bajó a pasear en el Prado, a provocar a los galanes y a escandalizar, según tenía de costumbre. Estaba en lo mejor de su edad, como Sol que culmina en el meridiano; famosa por sus conquistas y celebrada por su gracia, por su primor en el vestir, por su gallardo cuerpo, por su andar airoso y por su marcial y bulliciosa desenvoltura. Iba aquel día bizarramente ataviada; brial de raso azul, justillo recamado de seda y oro y bien peinada la negra y undosa mata de pelo, sujeta en rodete en lo alto de la gentil cabeza por rascamoño de oro, lleno de piedras preciosas. Completaban su tocado el lindo adorno que ella inventó y al que dio su nombre de guerra, llamándole La Caramba, y una mantilla blanca de preciosa y ligera blonda de Almagro.»Juan Valera

    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.
