Angel Bones by Ilyse Kusnetz


Angel Bones by Ilyse Kusnetz is a collection of poems that explore the delicate balance between life and death as the author, Kusnetz, is experience the last phase of her life with cancer.

                            





In poems such as “Bivalves Feeding at New Swyrna Beach,” Kusnetz makes beautiful observations about nature in an attempt to understand, connect, or to bring in her new perspectives about the impermanence of life.


Kusnet plays with form throughout the book; in some poems using prose and in others using spacing to emphasize phrases. This can be seen in poems such at “The Explosion Museum” and “Harbinger,” but despite these differences, Kusnetz reminds us that through death, there is a connectedness that all life shares; good or bad.
