Mavor's Bones

MAVOR'S BONES

Rolli (Charles Anderson) — Poetry / Illustrated Poetry / Contemporary Poetry

Book Description

\"I have been dreaming / those dreams of meaning / that come from the waters / of dreaming deep / like drowned men / to the gold skin / of the ocean\"

Company's come. In a ramshackle mansion, meet a family in the same condition — ancient, decayed. There's the brooding Duke, and his riotous brother. There's Grandam, lost in wilds of herself. There's a vicar, a philosopher, an angel, a ghost or two. And somewhere above them all, in a ruined garret...

Charles Anderson (Rolli) does it again. In another clever, witty and touching collection, Rolli rollicks again through gardens and cemeteries peopled with dreams, goddesses, characters dead and alive, dukes stricken within gout, gracious skeletons and morose angels. By turns delightfully black, singingly lyrical and innocently nonsensical, MAVOR'S BONES announces a poet outside the mainstream with his own refreshingly original voice — and bones to pick.
