This poetry collection will draw you into such a rich and deep profound experience, that you will identify that experience as your own. Only the exceptional poets can do this. Peycho Kanev is exceptional - he is a magician. He turns words into living things. He makes the boundaries between poetry and reality disappear. He will transform you when you read this book.
Bone Silence by Peycho Kanev is a constant reminder to us all that poetry usurps reality. Kanev takes readers in many directions, constantly returning the reader to the familiar. The various themes and symbolic repetitions of the works create a narrative larger than the individual pieces. Kanev draws us into his worlds, leaving us there to experience the familiarity of his voice, which seems to become our own. Bone Silence belongs in any serious collection of modern poetry today.
-Glenn Lyvers, Poetry Quarterly
Peycho Kanev’s newest book of poetry called Bone Silence was captivating from the very start. He employs many different poetic devices and forms. This book is filled with many thought provoking, dark and gritty sentiments. The narrative dialogue is blunt and unyielding. This is not a light hearted read of romanticized ear tickling, rather, it is cold realism. Bone Silence came across as a book of self review. A place in life at which youth and death walk tightropes across the conscious mind and collapses into ink and paper which carry the scent of cheap wine and cigarettes. The surreal and mind commandeering thoughts and imagery will leave you blinking the rose tint from your eyes. Bone Silence is a vital read to all who want to enjoy some cloudy sky poetry.
