{"product_id":"bone","title":"bone","description":"“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.\n\nFrom the celebrated poet Yrsa Daley-Ward, a poignant collection of poems about the heart, life, and the inner self.\n\nForeword by Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy: An American Memoir\n\nBone. 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: GBV.014313261X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Laymon, Kiese|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: Has a sturdy binding with some shelf wear.
