Visceral. Close to. Stark.\n\nThe poems in Yrsa Daley-Ward’s collection bone are exactly that: reflections on a particular life honed to their essence—so clear and pared-down, they become universal.\n\nFrom navigating the oft competing worlds of religion and desire, to balancing society’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-Ward’s bone resonates to the core of what it means to be human.\n\n“You will come away bruised.\nYou will come away bruised\nbut this will give you poetry.”\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 014313261X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGRJ00BGGL_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Daley-Ward, Yrsa\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
