Bone Dance: New and Selected Poems, 1965-1993 by Wendy Rose

em_harring's review against another edition

I quite enjoyed this. Bone Dance is my introduction to Wendy Rose's work. I think this is a solid "greatest hits"––these types of collections can be difficult, because you lose the poems in context of their full manuscript. I did, however, think the pieces here fit well together. I love Roses's use of desert imagery and I thought the poems that alluded to her background in archaeology were great.

I'm excited to check out a couple of her full length collections!

Rose is an extremely important and talented poet, but greatest hits albums have never really been for me.
