Poetry. FESTIVAL BONE is a letterpress chapbook featuring 15 of the poet's early poems. Publisher Gary Metras writes, "...the author reveals a unique voice... lyrical yet surreal, symbolist and descriptive...." "In these fifteen poems, we have the privilege of glimpsing the poet with an already unique voice and a natural panache for the lyric... The poems in FESTIVAL BONE are beautiful, startling, and unsettling. Like any good chapbook, it will whet your appetite and leave you hungry for more"--Brian Barker, American Book Review.
