Mortal Remains

Stephen Osborne

Patrick Lane's new book is Mortal Remains (Exile Editions) and should be owned by everyone who loves poetry. This is nearly a perfect book of mostly new poems, many of which concern the poet's older brother, who died an early death, and his father, who was murdered forty years ago. Many of the pieces in this collection are so good that any one of them is worth the price of the book.
