bone by Yrsa Daley-Ward

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 resonate to the core of what it means to be human.

Yrsa Daley-Ward is a poet and writer of mixed West African and West Indian ancestry. Yrsa was nurtured by her devoted Seventh Day Adventist grandparents in the little town of Chorley in the North of England, where she was born to a Jamaican mother and a Nigerian father. Her time is split between London and New York.
