Publisher's Synopsis
Emmett Wheatfall's As Clean as a Bone is a collection of poems for both the heart and the mind, a collection seasoned with the vital and invigorating salt of poetry and wisdom. Through clean, crafted lines that ring out, these remarkable poems question history, memory, culture. These poems don't just talk: they wrestle with experience, they debate, they think and play, they sing out with love and pain. "Can we sing a new song?" Emmett Wheatfall asks. With their deft musical cadences and resonant depths, the poems in this new book answer back with a resounding YES. -Annie Lighthart
