"M.P. Powers walks among the dead. His poems roam from the cemeteries of Berlin to the bars of Key West, finding everywhere the same restless truth: that the dead are never far away, but neither is the will to endure.
Strange Instruments is haunted by loss, memory, and the stubborn music of simply being alive. Powers' stark, lyrical voice is a rare gift." -- Mark Vanner, author of
The Bone that Swallowed a Man "Strange Instruments is magic: haunted, dreamy, poignant, surreal. A feast for the mind and the heart equally." -- Edward Anki, author of
Screw Factory as well as
Pricks and Purple Flowers Strange Instruments is an 85-page poetry book with artwork by the author and others.
