Acerca de este título
“yrsa daley-ward’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.” (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.
Foreword by Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy: An American Memoir
Bone. 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 bruised
but this will give you poetry."
Reseñas de la crítica
“Daley-Ward’s short poems cover subjects like depression, falling in and out of love, and sexuality, with a fierce staccato that, as the title suggests, cuts deep.” (Vogue)
"Yrsa’s work is like holding the truth in your hands. It sweats and breathes before you. A glorious living thing.” (Florence Welch, of Florence + the Machine)
“[bone is] the one poetry book every young Black girl will appreciate.... [With] poems that touch the heart, question societal norms and talk about the complexity of sexuality, [Yrsa Daley-Ward] has a book of great depth.” (Essence)
