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.
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.”

November 15, 2017
Transmogrified to poet, what she really wanted, actress/model Daley-Ward had a big hit when she self-published this collection in 2014. In language that's frank, colloquial, and full of yearning, she deals with desire, friendship, sexual predation, and what it's like to be a queer first-generation black British woman. (Her mother is Jamaican and her father Nigerian.) "You are a beautiful/ danger" says the opening poem. "I should not enter./ But I might." And elsewhere: "According to you, / people like me/ shouldn't go into places like this." Some of the pieces are more adage than fully developed verse, but Daley-Ward has rawness and heart as she expresses wholly relatable feelings. VERDICT A bright, accessible work for readers beyond the poetry crowd.
