Book Overview

Lucia Perillo, a Pulitzer finalist and MacArthur Fellow, died in October 2016, leaving an oeuvre that inspires and comforts, coaxing laughter and amazement out of the darkest human and nonhuman caves. Time Will Clean the Carcass Bones draws on five previous volumes of award-winning writing and includes a generous selection of new poems lush with music. Perillo found depth and resonance in a man's willingness to singe himself for his lava art, in a women's dairy-farm commune, in mermaids' tears as seen from space, in the elegant horror of shrikes. Throughout Perillo's career, her poems have brimmed with insight, with matter-of-factness at the wonders and disappointments of nature-especially the failings of the "meat cage," the human body.
