Description
John Burnside's Black Cat Bone is a collection of poems that explore the darker aspects of human experience. The poems are full of raw emotion, from the pain of thwarted love to the raw desire that drives us.
One sequence of poems tells the story of an obsessive lover coming to grief, echoing the haunting melodies of old murder ballads. Another poem describes a hunter lost in the woods, pursued by an unknown quarry. These poems, and others like them, introduce American readers to the unique voice of one of the best poets writing across the Atlantic.
