Sobre IBD

Travel becomes the antidote for a disintegrating love affair as these poems take the reader deep into Kelley’s wanderlust at the turn of the millennium. From the rise of the Internet and the death of Princess Diana to the First Congo War and the tragedy of September 11, Kelley’s personal journey from America to Europe intersects with history-making events and pop culture.

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...

    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....

Vanessa Daou says, 'In Kelley’s elegiac, soaring series of poems, we are seduced by his language, invited to join him on his raw and ribald traipsing across the wilderness of his memory. What is rendered is as intim...
