Salt and Bone is Zenobia Frost's debut poetry collection.
"Frost’s are fearless poems, engaging with and confronting the intricacies of our sex-then-life-then-death eddy. Treacle, black pepper and clove, the weight of Atlas: these are poems Bertolt Brecht would delay his first morning coffee or crossword to consume … their alchemic moods forge a contemporary age of bronze – one that, somehow, already sports your fingerprint embossed into its folds. Salt and Bone is her own Epic Theatre."
— Kent MacCarter
"Exquisite and zesty, these crystalline poems collect the textures of worlds imagined and re-imagined with grace and dexterity, wit and playfulness."
— Felicity Plunkett
"Salt and Bone belongs to ‘the hour of the curlew’ ¬– a time of potential – of becoming and unbecoming. As if holding water in one hand and a live coal in the other, these poems embody – without holding on, without flinching – the raw power of the elemental. From cell to cosmos, nothing is too insignificant or too large to escape Frost’s vision. This book recalls the necessity for a lexicon that includes phantasmagoria and cornucopia."
— Deb Westbury
