But, the poet is the musician, the horn blower, who must ever be \"Waiting. Wondering where the next beat would come, if it would come . . . a pulse, a roll to bring him back into the song completely new.\" This sets the stage for the concert of prose poems that follow, and in \u003ci\u003eBone Music \u003c\/i\u003ethe reader will find the best book of prose poems since Karl Shapiro's \u003ci\u003eThe Bourgeois Poet \u003c\/i\u003efrom the 1960s. In \"The Wreckage That We Travel In,\" he writes, \"The world must take us by surprise,\" and, indeed, we are given the details, as if they were notes played, of \u003ci\u003esurprise.\u003c\/i\u003e If it's not the wreckage of automobiles, it may be the wreckage of lives and what to do with them. \u003ci\u003eBone Music \u003c\/i\u003etakes us through such interludes and more. As Peckham writes in \"Arrhythmia,\" this is \"what listening means,\" the music \"finding in the storm, the harmony, the single tap of rain among the many rhythms, the molecule of silence beating like a heart.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Peckham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1622889126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781622889129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen F.
