Bone, Gristle and Fat

By: King, Brian

Bone, Gristle and Fat-a compilation of fifty one poems I bundled together in the summer and fall of 2023. Assembling these free verse poems was akin to eating from a massive and varied buffet. The choices were overwhelming at first; review 135 poems written over twelve years. Discovering six themes within this body of work. From that initial number of poems I took 70 and then finally the 51 included in this book. All of these poems were critiqued, many were read aloud to audiences in Richmond, Syracuse, Tucson and Ireland. After two comprehensive edits what was left-Bone, Gristle and Fat.
