Review
The thoughts, feelings and experiences Laudati writes are relatable to young adults trying to fit in with the rest of America. After living in New York City, he's able to share his view on the harsh reality of life today. "Bone House" is the perfect selection for readers looking for brutally honest and hard-hitting poetry that speaks to the mind. - Kailey Cheng, The Breeze (USA)
Bone House is a collection of poems that combines the urban energy of New York with a melancholic longing. Laudati released his first collection of poems, Hawaiian Shirts in the Electric Chair, in 2014, and has also written a number of award-winning short stories and a novel entitled Play the Devil. Influenced by the intrusive nature of the big city and a desire to express emotions before it's too late, Bone House tells the story of what it feels like to "stand at the edge of a cliff." - Natalie Schmidt, The Tartan (USA)
Beyond the hardships, there's a level of softness, beckoning at readers to realise that life does not always operate with the light on. Accepting your failures and experiencing the world, is the best way to live. To suffer, to know and breathe. Small pockets of peace are present throughout the collection and remind the readers amongst a variety of self-help tools, to ground themselves. - Sarah Peters, Farrago (AUS)
