"Crazy Bone's solitary life on the margins is at once a performance of the archetypal feminine forever at odds with patriarchal order and a libretto for the wayward, solitary, and vulnerable spirit of art, passion, and expression." -Sharon Thesen, author of Oyama Pink Shale The voice of crazy bone takes you on a mesmerizing journey in Patrick Friesen's evocative new long poem. Crazy bone lives on the edge of the world, at the edge of time, wandering the mid-path of her life, on the outskirts of a small town. She is caught in her own monologue, listening to herself, to the river. Crazy bone is a trickster, a fool, a wild woman laughing, a campesino, who through loss is finding her way back to herself. Society has dismissed her presence as irrelevant, but crazy is cleverly confident, and tests the reader. In her rambling, she references writers, singers, artists, theologians, tightrope walkers, philosophers, not as experts but as guides along the way. You won't forget her voice as she passes by.
