IN PRAISE OF BONE: New and Selected Poems Paperback

IN PRAISE OF BONE: New and Selected Poems is a luminous collection that spans the arc of a poet’s journey—meditating on memory, mortality, resilience, and the quiet beauty embedded in the human form. With both new works and carefully chosen favorites, this volume celebrates the language of the body, the weight of ancestry, and the fragile architecture that holds us together. Each poem is a bone—bare, essential, enduring. The poet crafts verses that are at once intimate and expansive, rich with imagery, rhythm, and emotional precision. From the marrow of personal experience to the scaffolding of collective history, these poems invite the reader to reflect, to feel, and to remember what it means to be alive in both flesh and spirit. IN PRAISE OF BONE is a testament to poetic craft and the power of language to hold the unspoken—tender, unflinching, and deeply human.
