<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Do, please, check out the final stanza of "Flutter" for a nutshell demonstration of sound gorgeously orchestrated in language, or look at the sly echo of "things" and "rings" (with its diminuendo in "tightening" a few lines later) in this collection's first poem. But I don't want to imply that <em>This Bony Cabinet</em> is just one long tone poem. Billy the Kid awaits you here, and the architect Louis Sullivan, and the three major icons of twentieth century physics/cosmology, and --- well, maybe the heart of your own bony cabinet is knocking inside these lines too. Enjoy!</p><p><strong> -Albert Goldbarth, </strong>two-time winner of the National Book Critics Circle award</p><p><br></p><p>The terrain of the poems in Kim Horner McCoy's <em>This Bony Cabinet</em> includes roadside memorials, architectural monuments, and Interstate mileposts along a lightly-peopled diagonal between Chicago and eastern New Mexico. Birds frozen in sculpture, the shock of world events rattling the order, a way woke coyote tale, F5 tornadoes, weaponized airplanes falling from the sky, coiled rattlesnakes beside the trail-McCoy writes with lithographic remembrance, cataloguing unexpected detours, missing sections of map, and the lingering effects of disasters-both personal and collective-in her journey through early 21st Century America.</p><p><strong> -George Frazier</strong>, author of <em>The Last Wild Places of Kansas</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Kim Horner McCoy writes from her soul. The poems in </strong><em>THIS BONY CABINET</em> reveal an ear for language and a voice all her own. A mesmerizing debut.</p><p><strong> -Johnny D. Boggs</strong>, eight-time Spur Award winner</p><p><br></p>
