The Bone Flowers by John Fuller Omikemi Natacha Bryan did not occur to me

did not occur to me until I was forced to invent one

She has the courage to tell her heart's deepest

and throws in her lot with art instead

Time behaves differently in The House of Ghosts and Mirrors

The Bone Flowers by John Fuller Omikemi Natacha Bryan did not occur to meIn 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.
