Now is the time to dig up whatever it was you buried in that sacred soil.
EARLY PRAISE!
"A diverse examination of mind, body, and soul, Frederick Niles brings you brilliance in this collection of incredible micropoems that only hint at the full range of his talent. Niles is one of the best poets on the indie scene and is one to watch, a true rising star!" --Christopher Besonen, author of NETWORK
"While reading this collection of stunning micro poems that hit hard in a very few lines, I found myself feeling a full range of emotions. For what is, perhaps, the first time in my life, I have connected with poetry in a way I never have before. Each word is a bullet painstakingly crafted and aimed to hit its target. I truly enjoyed the entire book!" - Jill Girardi, Owner, Kandisha Press
“These passages are raw wounds trying desperately to heal - as dark as they are beautiful, as real as they are dreamlike, and as painful as they are hopeful. Together, they reveal a story of someone trying to be something better in a world trying to tear them apart.”—Patrick Tumblety, author of COME OUT & PLAY
"A stellar collection. Brilliant words to savor and return to. If you enjoy great poetry, you'll absolutely adore SLENDER BONES IN SACRED SOIL. I'm looking forward to more of Nile's work."—Brian Bowyer, author of STORYSLAVE
