About Nostalgia for Sacrifice:

"As painterly and precise as the great haiku masters, but wth an American idiom all his own, Paul Bone gives us nightcrawlers and turkey vultures, chicken coops and train trestles-all vividly real and in language that illuminates. Bone displays an understated skill which is as at home in a longer meditative lyric as in the tight tumblings of a villanelle. These are momentary visions to last a lifetime."
—Beth Ann Fenelly

"Paul Bone writes with an unstinting sensory focus, but his poems are remarkable, not for their detail, but for the quality and frequency of their metaphorical discoveries and for their humanity. This debut chapbook rewards continually and announces a poet of significant gifts."
—Rodney Jones
