Sobre IBD

Un Festín de Palabras es una producción eminentemente cubana. Cuba ha sido siempre una isla rodeada de poetas por todas partes. Al ajiaco, la conga y las bellas mujeres cubanas, hay que añadir el alborozo y el júbilo que los cubanos siempre han sentido por la poesía. ¿Qué mejores exponentes de los poetas cubanos pueden presentarse que aquellos que el público o el Congreso de la República han escogido a lo largo de medio siglo como Poetas Nacionales Cubanos? Este libro, sin soslayo de muchos otros grandes versificadores, despliega con detalle la obra poética de José María Heredia (1803-1839), Julián del Casal (1863-1893), Agustín Acosta (1886-1979)y Nicolás Guillén (1902-1989), los más grandes trovadores del parnaso cubano. Los cuatro poetas nacionales son representativos de una literatura cubana que desde el siglo XIX ha sido posiblemente la más fecunda, distinguida y prestigiosa de Hispanoamérica y del mundo de habla castellana.

  • Polishing the Silver
    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....
