Summary

'When does a poem end?' This book is about the rhythms of life against the riddle of time. It is a 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.

The Bone Flowers Summary

The Bone Flowers by John Fuller

'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.

The Bone Flowers Reviews

One of England's greatest poets - an artist unafraid to combine intellect with sensuousness * Telegraph *
