The Bone Flowers

Author: John Fuller
Publisher: Chatto & Windus
Category: Poetry By Individual Poets
Book Format: Paperback

When does a poem end?' In 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.
