Sobre IBD

Sirens of Insomnia is an exploration of love, longing, and transformation.Blending the sacred and the profane through a pastiche of genres and perspectives, the reader is drawn into a kaleidoscopic journey, where desire and despair converse with scenes of illusion, lust, grace, and transcendence. Mediated through the screen, each Siren beckons with a different voice: lover, muse, mystic, and mirror. Their dialogues, echoing intimacy and ambiguity, reveal the hopes and fractures of postmodern techno-erotic relationships.While postmodern in form, Sirens of Insomnia will resonate with readers who are drawn to the lyrical mysticism of Rilke, the sensual honesty of Leonard Cohen, and the existential quest of T. S. Eliot. Perfect for readers who are drawn to the transformative dimensions of desire.

    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....

  • Monstrosity
    Matthew Kirshman
    There’s magic in the monstrous. Something strange leaks through the hyper-conscious language and distorted artifice of these sci-fi tales. Through the cracks slip 'the gelatinous body of Captain Aldair,' the 'stubs that were once his legs,' and 'burning nubs where his arms had been.'Monstrosity is a self-reflexive text, art holding a mirror to itself, revealing the illusion of ...
