City of Bones by Kwame Dawes Faber our experience of being humanCity of Bones is a poets testament, his vision of times past and future. Composed in a language that is highly intelligent, tightly wrought, and buoyantthe inherent lyric quality derives its swing from reggae, blues, jazz, gospel, and spoken word traditionsit is a road map tarred in civilizational wisdom. This is an astonishingly fine book. If I were to predict a future Nobel Prize winner in literature, it would more than likely be Kwame Dawes. Sudeep
