Instruments of the Bones

In Instruments of the Bones, Stephen C. Behrendt attends to the details of his immediate world with a keen, focused, and sensitive eye. His is a natural world that includes man - a living world that includes death. Behrendt's meditative poems unfold quickly in the "Here, now...this glaring spot of time"; but their roots reach deeply into the past, and their implications stretch indeterminately into the future.
