The Marvelous Bones of Time: Excavations and Explanations - Paperback

by Brenda Coultas (Author)
Brenda Coultas unearths the eccentricities and tragedies that congregate along humanity's borders.
Incorporating memoir, folktales, fact, and hearsay into two distinctly moving poems, this collection begins with "The Abolition Journal," set near the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, and along the Kentucky border where "looking from the free state / there is a river then a slave state." Here, Coultas delves into her personal history and uncovers a land still troubled by the specter of slavery. In "A Lonely Cemetery," Coultas collects and investigates "true" tales of UFO sightings, poltergeists, legendary monsters, and eerie crematoriums, exploring the very nature of narrative truth through the lens of the ghost story.Author Biography
