The Bone Flowers by John Fuller Omikemi Natacha Bryan Inis Mór with Coney IslandIn this rambunctious romp of a narrative poem, John Fuller taps out the rhythms of life against the riddle of time: from his story of opportunistic art dealer Old Billy Emerald and his fabled Shakespeare manuscript, to the ghosts of great poets and remembrances of old friends. The Bone Flowers is a resonant celebration of the things we leave behind in art, music and poetry as well as a stirring memento mori to gather our rosebuds while we may.
