Between the Bones

poems by

 By Mary Sue Koeppel


 Dimensions: Softcover, 5.5 x 8.5, 96 pages

“Mary Sue Koeppel’s poetry is compassionate, female, and distinctive. If you don’t know her work, here is a great place to start. If you do, you won’t be disappointed. From gentle build to intensity, from intensity to gentle fall, this is a lovely book.”—Lola Haskins

Canopic Publishing is pleased to announce the publication of Between the Bones, the most recent book by author Mary Sue Koeppel.

Between the Bones is a structured and unified gathering of poems, poems that speak of fresh wounds and ancient healing, of emptiness and fulfillment. From the opening lines of “Getting the Angels to Talk” to the concluding words of the wonderfully apt “How to Say Good-bye Indestructibly,” the reader is embraced by a voice simultaneously innocent and experienced moving along a path of sensual awakenings. This is a journey of shared solitude, patiently navigated by a poet skilled in traversing the harsh earth with a compassionate and boundless spirit. Between the Bones is a book of enduring breath deserving of a thousand reads—and more.

From the back cover:

Those of us who knew Charles Rice as friend and priest give thanks for this renewal of old times not forgotten. Those who knew him not at all will exult in the wit and wisdom of a new associate, teacher and playmate.

            —Will D. Campbell

 

In The View from My Ridge, Charles E. Rice creates short, wonderfully perceptive, lyrical vignettes in the rich story telling tradition of Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street.

Sometimes profound, always moving, these essays by Rice are beautifully crafted.  Their intricate designs, almost always completed on one page, reveal the skill of an extraordinary writer. Here is a memoir whose form and style, plus the profundity of its meaning, make it a worthwhile and important read.

        —Mary Sue Koeppel, author of In the Library of Silences, Poems of Loss; editor of Kalliope

 

Born in the John Ross House in Rossville, Georgia, Charles E. Rice lived most of his boyhood at the foot of Missionary Ridge on the Tennessee-Georgia state line. Steeped in Cherokee culture and Civil War history, this area becomes a central metaphor in Rice’s much-travelled life, a life touched by the Great Depression, tempered by World War II, and challenged by the revolutions that shaped postwar America. Through it all, Rice struggles to find an enduring truth greater than the shifting values of the society he so ably served.

         —Robert B. Gentry, author of Insights into Love and Freedom  and A College Tells Its Story

The frontispiece of The View From My Ridge is Cesar Biojo's beautiful specially-commissioned rendering of the John Ross House, a house whose storied history includes being the home of Chief John Ross, great Chief of the Cherokees at the time of the "Trail of Tears;" the headquarters for General Hooker during the Battle of Chickamauga; and, in 1929, the birthplace of Charles E. Rice.
