Lit by flashes of anger and laughter as he surveys his territory from the vantage point of old age, the poems are, in the end, both sane and profound, set to Meinke's own music. Consisting of over sixty new poems, the book begins with a house-shaped poem about a family in a beloved old home, and then moves out into the world with poems about a fire-bug, drive-by shootings, and the often violent human condition before circling back to the home and a final epitaph. A clear-eyed feeling of loss permeates Lucky Bones, but not despair: in the midst of conflict, Meinke's world is full of wonder, and wonderful people. 410 0$aPitt poetry series. 606 $aEnglish poetry 606 $aAmerican poetry 615 0$aEnglish poetry. 615 0$aAmerican poetry. 676 $a821.008 700 $aMeinke$b Peter$01619580 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818900603321 996 $aLucky bones$93981946 997 $aUNINA
