About This Item

In a color illustrated dust jacket with a portrait of the author on back cover, dust jacket bumped at head of spine and top corners, lightly scuffed. "Many the poems engage the perspectives of Judaism and Christianity, especially where the two traditions overlap and collide - or where each struggles to invent the other. The 'want' of the title, The Want Bone - spiritual, sexual, historical, personal - is embodied in the formal inventions that are a hallmark of Pinsky's work, now brought into challenging and memorable new territory."
