Description
Muscle & Bone Paul-Victor Winters (1995, 2020)
Muscle & Bone is a mesmerizing first collection of poems spoken in a voice at once alert and dreamy, nervy and vulnerable, tentative and flighty. On the page, the poems are lean and plainly spoken, but they are alive with surprises and bright maneuvers. The result is a fine combination of deftness of craft and ease of expression.
—Billy Collins, Judge
