Paper Skin and Wooden Bones gathers the commended and winning entries from a CND Peace Education competition marking the eightieth anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, edited by Aaron Kent and Antony Owen. Written largely by school-age poets, the anthology meets nuclear catastrophe through stark, economical means: anaphora, the litany of names, abrupt line breaks, and passages of white space weighted towards silence. Across the selection a single catastrophe is turned to opposed ends, some poems holding to bare statement and refusing consolation, others tracing regrowth in the ruin.
