The Bones Poems
by William Virgil Davis
The writing in this remarkable collection makes such masterful use of bones as metaphor that the book reads as much like a single long poem as it does a bringing together of individual lyrics. Open the book anywhere and enjoy a small gem of poetry, or read the whole book - even in a single sitting - and enjoy a moving and brilliant long poem.
