Mark Vanner Releases New Poetry Collection - The Bone That Swallowed A Man – Poems

(MENAFN- BookBuzz) The Bone That Swallowed A Man - where the surreal meets the everyday in a poetic journey through modern life's absurdities.

Anxiety Press is thrilled to announce the publication of The Bone That Swallowed A Man - Poems by Mark Vanner, available now. Published on July 31, 2024, this debut collection of poetry delves deep into the human condition with a blend of humor, introspection, and social commentary.

In The Bone That Swallowed A Man, Vanner presents a captivating exploration of both the mundane and the extraordinary aspects of modern existence. Through a unique poetic lens, he exposes the artifice, emptiness, and stark realities underlying contemporary life. His work invites readers to confront and reflect upon the inherent contradictions and curiosities of their own lives.

In "Kathy’s Dream," Vanner explores the existential dread of realizing one's life is merely a figment of someone else's imagination, blending humor with a profound sense of loss. "The Magician" offers a whimsical yet dark commentary on identity and self-perception through a barber's magical mirror, while "Future Appliances" presents a humorous dialogue between household items, each offering cryptic advice on life's meaning. In "Scarecrow," Vanner juxtaposes a classic literary reference with a contemporary critique of personal evolution, adding layers of depth and irony to his reflections on human condition. Each poem in this collection is a unique lens through which Vanner examines the absurdity and beauty of everyday experiences.

"If you have this collection in your hands, count yourself very lucky. You are about to meet Mark Vanner. You are about to enter his world through his poems. And they are fascinating. You won’t be disappointed. For him it’s just the start in the world of letters, but I expect we will be hearing from him for a long time to come." – Mark SaFranko, author of Hating Olivia and Amerigone
