Luz Bones

by Myrna Stone

In Luz Bones , a collection of wild, intense, and fiercely-crafted sonnets and other poems, Myrna Stone takes us on a journey through time and the psyche, that is both novelistic and deeply lyrical. The range of voices—from Martin Luther's to Mae West's—explores both mortality and what might lie beyond it. Myrna Stone is the author of five books of poetry, including In the Present Portraits of My Father , which was a finalist for the 2014 Ohioana Book Award in Poetry. She has received two Ohio Arts Council Grants, and the 2001 Ohio Poet of the Year Award.
