Muscle & Bone (1995) by Paul-Victor Winters
A beautiful but short collection of poetry by a beautiful soul--taken from us much too soon in 2020. I was privileged to know Paul-Victor in his final year of MFA work at Indiana University. His work is touching and haunting with imagery (such as the flowers and plants) that finds its way through nearly all the poems in this book. The poems cover love and loss and grief and back again...all in the space of 32 pages.★★★★
First line (first poem): Give the old man eyes, the woman says
Last line (last poem): above us.
