Sobre IBD

Theaters of War should be read aloud in juxtaposition to the blare of world news broadcasts, to appreciate Dr. Ngwainmbi's grasp and illustration of the ironies of our daily acceptance and condoning of hostile tribalization of modern mankind. The book is a treasure and must be appreciated as a mirror of our times. - Hank Daidone, Lt. Colonel of US Army (Retired) Emmanuel K. Ngwainmbi's verse is crisp yet full of imagistic details. His rhythmic pulse, enforced by love and war and a yearning for peace, and his fragmented references and repetitions have shock value, as well as delicious intellectual content. The mixture of these elements is powerful and appealing. - Dr. Leonard A. Slade, Jr., State University of New York at Albany In an era when war for many in America presents itself as a rolling screen of names at the end of the nightly news, a voice speaks out strong and clear. Emmanuel K. Ngwainmbi's anti-war feelings include expressions of goodness - the virtues of life and love. He superbly contrasts every day life with war-like descriptions, thoughts and feelings to unmask war's absurdity. His use of the commonplace makes every war, our war. The life he creates is so real - so ours - it is worth protecting. . . .the reader can't help but see the hypocrisy in killing for peace's sake. - Mary-Ellen Riddle, The Virginia Pilot

    ‘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.

  • 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....
