Cameron Conaway’s Bonemeal is forthcoming April 2012 from Finishing Line Press.

Conaway’s chapbook Bonemeal harkens back to Allen Ginsberg’s Howl in the way it fires unapologetically through the deep wounds of society. Its insistence on Veni and Vici and not Vidi unravels one of the book’s core themes: That we as people come to a place and before we see it we strive to conquer it. In the end, the book remains true to its title. Bonemeal at once shows the aspects of the world that are turning to rubble while hoping that this very rubble will provide the essential nutrients for us to grow…grow in a better way.
