Bone Shop of the Heart: Poems of Memory and Desire

Each poem in this collection forms a spiral staircase of carefully balanced lines that lead us to the balcony of surprise.A seamless blend of keen observation, mild-mannered irony, and garden fresh metaphors, Mahon's unassuming craft reflects contemporary poetry at its best !

--Salman Akhtar, author of The Hidden Knot and Blood and Ink.

This book is a gift to all of us. Part magician, part leprechaun, Eugene Mahon has produced a volume of magical poems that, in the tradition of Yeats himself, both speaks to the soul and touches the heart.

--Theodore Jacobs

Mahon is a poet who comes to us with his heart wide open with the promise to sing to everyone anew, his poetry a "ghost" devoted to the haunting of each listener with the uprightness of his voice in a fallen world.

--Gordon Lish
