An exciting and original collection, both funny and frightening, creating paradigms of the known and the unknown.

Poets’ & readers’ views on this collection ...

Gwyneth Lewis‘Richard Gwyn’s prose poems are boxes packed with exotic smells, metaphysical surprises, myths of home and the occasional jack wielding a punch. Take them out, savour them, and keep them.’

Lindsay Clarke‘In each of Richard Gwyn’s mesmerizing, lucidly written pieces, the familiar world lifts off into strangeness and we are reminded again and again of the irreducible mystery of things.’

Peter Finch ‘There is a marvellous combination of satisfying mystery and cool detachment in the work of Richard Gwyn. Walking on Bones is highly readable, the work original, very different for a contemporary poet, and shows much evidence of craft and critical ear.’
