“Chris Tusa’s poems are darkly visionary, calling on the beauty of the natural world to illuminate the murk and drift of human motives and action.“ »Sidney Wade, author of Stroke, Celestial Bodies, Empty Sleeves, and Green



In Haunted Bones, Chris Tusa probes uncharted waters with courage, with energy, strength and clarity of vision. Intense and compelling, Haunted Bones is a vivid and hard edged collection.   --Vivian Shipley

Inside what appear to be harmless little things — miniature Bibles, folded t-shirts, catfish — Chris Tusa has hidden firecrackers and bottlerockets. Tusa’s poems are filled with bang! and woosh!, with surprises and truth. –Josh Russell
