Haunted Bones, poems by Chris Tusa
"Chris Tusa’s poetry is poetry on steroids. Though it’s not for everybody, it’s just fine for people who appreciate good poetry."
--Greg Langley, Baton Rouge Advocate
In Haunted Bones, Chris Tusa probes uncharted waters with courage, with energy, strength and clarity of vision. Microscoping the incorporeal, he holds a magnifying glass up to the mind of a hypochondriac in poems detailing fear of tumors, leukemia, bad weather or the sky falling. Intense and compelling, Haunted Bones is a vivid and hard edged collection. Chris Tusa’s poems cannot be folded and sailed out into the night because like a boomerang in the shape of “Satan’s hipbone,” they return and linger in the recesses of the mind. --Vivian Shipley
