Play Them Bones

by Ladianne Mandel, Janet K. Ruffing (Foreword by)

Play Them Bones introduces the strong and visceral poetic voice of Ladianne Mandel. These poems, written in the course of a challenging and difficult year, compel the reader into participating in a life and death struggle, exploring terrain that is troubling, origi- nal, and surely not the coin of polite conversation. Yet the poems desperately affirm life in all its rawness and contra- diction, pains and pleasures.
