Review
“Neil Carpathios is a poet I always return to. His poems move me at the deepest level. I am struck by their sense of intimacy—and I love everything about this collection. How the poems articulate with seeming ease our existential dis-ease. How they address our desire for meaning, love, eternity, desire itself. How they hold the personal so close to the divine mystery, the impossible close to the possible, the temporal world close to eternity. He delves so near to the heart and dares to put on paper what it’s like to be human, with all its blessings, fears, curses, and wonders. This book reminds me that poetry can redeem us even as it reminds us of our suffering, our fragility, our irreparable and wounded humanity. In short, each poem here is profound and beautiful.” —Nin Andrews
“Neil Carpathios’ Beyond the Bones is an essential meditation, a wholly alive exploration of mortality and love. His poems are affectionately witty, resilient, and determined. Neil Carpathios is a poet full of grace.” —Denise Duhamel
“Any poet who can compare taking communion to swallowing a sea-monkey, or a stand of trees to a classroom full of children raising their hands, or pneumonia to taking a swim forever, immediately gets my attention. Carpathios connects the dots of the world with his poems, and makes a wholeness (which is hope) that is rare and original, which is what Beyond the Bones is: original and rare.” —Thomas Lux
