No bones to carry
About
A Small Press Review “Pick” for 2008, No Bones to Carry is a collection of poems rooted in the writer's experience in Asia, but flowering with the sensibilities of an American nomad. Or is it vice versa?
"James Penha is able to mold exotic topics into poignant universal truths. Should I be called upon to speak at a funeral, I would choose to quote the first four lines of the evocative title poem, 'No Bones to Carry.'" --Virginia Howard, Editor, THEMA
"James Penha's imagination will whet your own. This book is a feast." --Louie Crew
"The poems in No Bones to Carry are nuanced and expansive, defining the individual's place in the larger world. Here, Penha reminds us of the limitations of our perception and the poet’s struggle to see beyond them." --Blas Falconer
