WHEN THINGS GO WRONG Poems by I.B. Iskov A searching, deeply human collection of poems about endurance and attention. What stays with us when everything else slips away? In this honest and wide-ranging collection, I.B. (Bunny) Iskov writes through pain, memory, illness, faith, and the ordinary moments that shape a life. Rooted in clarity and feeling, these poems move from the deeply personal to the historical and cultural, touching on loneliness, resilience, aging, identity, and the search for meaning in a complicated world. Whether reflecting on childhood, confronting physical suffering, or bearing witness to injustice, Iskov writes with a voice that is both disarming and restorative. When Things Go Wrong is a testament to endurance, to the power of expression, and to the belief that—even in the darkest hours—something in us continues to reach for light. Praise for I.B. (Bunny) Iskov: “I.B. ‘Bunny’ Iskov is the nurturing Muse of The Ontario Poetry Society and its presiding inventor. She has done service to Poetry—and she serves Poets.”—George Elliott Clarke “I.B. Iskov is a mistress of the quotidian. Her ability to tap images and distill insights from telling moments across time and lives is both natural and practiced.”—Elana Woolf “Bunny Iskov writes poems that skirt the edges and plunge the swirling eddies of sorrow and joy, bringing with her the light of language and music of poetry.”—John B. Lee “Iskov’s approaches are invariably fresh, often quirky or somewhat offbeat, and never tame or predictable… A sensibility sharply observant yet also able to take a dreamily fanciful turn… Striking phrases draw the reader into inward psychological landscapes.”—Allan Briesmaster “Iskov’s poems are a window to her deep and personal encounters with the world. They are also her catharsis.”—Fran Figge “I.B. (Bunny) Iskov is like the Energizer Bunny… that just keeps going and going and going.”—Debbie Okun Hill “A jewel of beauty and wisdom.”—Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews About the Author I.B.
