The Whole by Contemplation of a Single Bone by Nancy K Pearson

The Whole by Contemplation of a Single Bone by Nancy K Pearson

A collection of lyric and prose poetry about identity, fragmentation, depression and addiction.

"If Nancy Pearson chose to offer life lessons, moralizing, and even a bit of poemtificating about her struggles with meth addiction and depression in this latest collection, we'd forgive herIndeed, we'd happily climb mountains to read anything she writes." -- Matt Sutherland -Foreword Reviews "Not only one poem but the whole of Nancy K. Pearson's breathtaking second book, The Whole by Contemplation of a Single Bone, presses the question 'Do you understand the urgency?' Urgency hums through this collection like current through an electric fence." -H.L. Hix "So wondrous and happily strange that I had to take breaks in my reading of it to make sure that everything I thought I knew was still the way I remembered it. This is, in the best way, a book about what it means to be surprised." -Michael Klein

Nancy K. Pearson's first book of poems, Two Minutes of Light, received the L. L. Winship / PEN New England award and was named a "Must Read Book" at the 2009 Annual Massachusetts Book Awards. Pearson recently taught poetry at the University of Houston and now lives in Maryland with her partner.
