The Palace of Bones

<div> <p><i>The Palace of Bones</i> by Allison Eir Jenks is an often stark and startling vision of the way we live the places we inhabit and the relics we make to comfort ourselves.</p> <p>Haunted by a quiet unquenchable longing Jenks expertly and calmly guides the reader through a vivid dreamscape in this first full-length collection of poems.</p> <p><i>The Palace of Bones</i> was selected by final judge and Pulitzer Prize winner Carolyn Kizer. At once dark in its vision and light in its tone this remarkable book is its author's self-confident invitation for us to join her in a world she knows intimately and has made almost familiar if not entirely safe.</p> <p><i>The Palace of Bones</i> is a stunning debut.</p> </div>
