Bones: Poems

Bones, the second poetry book by Mike Freeman. Here language is stripped down to is essence: lean and unencumbered. The author moves effortlessly from prose poems to minimalist language pieces, from traditional forms to concrete poetry. Bones runs the full gamut of human emotion and its tone can turn on a dime: one poem tinged with bittersweet nostalgia, another caustically satiric, another unabashedly romantic. Holding it all together is a sense of the absurd. Laughter is found even in the darkest places. A delightful book of refreshing wit and clarity, these bones are alive.
