â€œyrsa daley-wardâ€™s bone is a symphony of breaking and mending. . . . she lays her hands on the pulse of the thing. . . . an expert storyteller. of the rarest. and purest kind.â€ â€”nayyirah waheed, author of salt.

From the celebrated poet Yrsa Daley-Ward, a poignant collection of poems about the heart, life, and the inner self.
Â
Bone. Visceral. Close to. Stark.
Â
The poems in Yrsa Daley-Wardâ€™s collection bone are exactly that: reflections on a particular life honed to their essenceâ€”so clear and pared-down, they become universal.
Â
From navigating the oft competing worlds of religion and desire, to balancing societyâ€™s expectations with the raw experience of being a woman in the world; from detailing the experiences of growing up as a first generation black British woman, to working through situations of dependence and abuse; from finding solace in the echoing caverns of depression and loss, to exploring the vulnerability and redemption in falling in love, each of the raw and immediate poems in Daley-Wardâ€™s bone resonates to the core of what it means to be human.
Â
â€œYou will come away bruised.
You will come away bruised
but this will give you poetry.â€Â
