| book description |

Zero at the Bone begins with Wimanâ€™s preoccupation with despair, and through fifty brief pieces, he unravels its seductive appeal. The book is studded with the poetry and prose of writers who inhabit Wimanâ€™s thoughts, and the voices of Wallace Stevens, Lucille Clifton, Emily Dickinson, and others join his own. At its heart and Wimanâ€™s, however, are his familyâ€”his young children (who ask their own invaluable questions, like â€œWhy are you a poet? I mean why?â€), his wife, and those he grew up with in West Texas. Wiman is the rare thinker who takes on the mantle of our greatest mystics and does so with an honest, profound, and contemporary sensibility. Zero at the Bone is a revelation.
