Sobre IBD

This collection of essays and reviews extends and complements the work collected in two earlier volumes: Singing for Nothing: Selected Nonfiction as Literary Memoir (The Operating System, 2018) and On Beauty: Essays, Reviews, Fiction, and Plays (Adelaide Books, 2018). The essays and reviews presented in Parts I and II were written roughly between 2010 and 2021, while the reviews in Part III are selected from work written in previous decades. Since this earlier work did not signify itself as being dated and rendered itself still pertinent, the author found that work significant enough to collect in this volume as it contributes to the overall themes and ethos of this book-a literary work of aesthetic and social consequence.

  • Candling the Eggs
    Wally Swist
    Acclaimed poet Wally Swist remarks on events of everyday living in this brilliant collection. 'The Female Cardinal,' 'Ray's Sandwich Shop,' 'Ode to My New Shoes,' and, of course, 'Candling the Eggs' show us how to notice the value in commonplace events.
