Foreword by Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy: An American MemoirBone. Visceral. Close to. Stark.   The 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.   From 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.   “You will come away bruised. You will come away bruisedbut this will give you poetry.” ", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers2/ebook/28/45/9780525504528_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "9.99", "our_price" : "9.99", "club_price" : "9.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "club_savings_amt" : "0", "club_savings_pct" : "0" } }
