The fourth poetry collection from Cook, Where Roots Touch Bone encompasses a number of life experiences, quickly jotted down ideals, and remembered dreams. Inside, the author recounts historic battles, long abandoned homes, and the heartache of brotherly love. Marching songs, folklore, and ocular migraines are topics of discussion, as is the slow and unstoppable march towards the grave.
Consisting of sixty poems of various genres, styles and tempos, Where Roots Touch Bone draws a darker parralel to Cook's other works.
