"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 "yrsa daley-ward's bone is a symphony of breaking and mending. this whole book is an ache. and a balm. daley-ward effortlessly mines the bone. the diamond from the difficult. the things that are too bright and taboo. she lays her hands on the pulse of the thing. and gives wide air to the epic realities of women. the unfamiliar. the familiar. sexuality. poverty. sex work. sadness. joy. damage. and restoration. assigning them all the grace. all the nurturing. and all the love they deserve. an expert storyteller. of the rarest. and purest kind--daley-ward is uncannily attentive and in tune to the things beneath life. beneath the skin. beneath the weather of the everyday. her poetry and prose are intimate and distant. sonorous and staunch. delicate and metal. unwilling to yield and wondrously supple. daley-ward's extraordinary talent. ability. to both see and write the veins of the true life. the true lives. is a gift. a breath." --nayyirah waheed, author of salt. and nejma "[Yrsa Daley-Ward] is at the realm of a new wave of contemporary poets who inspire an unprecedented level of empathy and accessibility through their honest and raw approach. . . . [A] powerful collection of a woman facing tumultuous inner and external battles head on, delivered with a hard-hitting directness, yet with inflections of optimism throughout that are bound to touch readers to their core." -- i-D Magazine "The actor, author, model, and poet draws from her own experiences as well as issues affecting today's society throughout her work and is truly a storyteller ('some tall, some dark') of the soul." --POPSUGAR, "Yrsa's work is like holding the truth in your hands.

[Daley-Ward] examines the alchemy between mind and body--with subjects ranging from trauma to hunger to desire." -- Elle "[ bone is], first and foremost, about being human, but [it] also thoughtfully, skillfully, and pissed-off-edly dive[s] into the complexities of race in our new world. . . . Daley-Ward writes of growing up half-Nigerian, half-Jamaican in Northern England: 'According to you, / people like me / shouldn't go into places like this or / be around people like these / but you don't know the half of it.' Her haunting words show us the whole of it." -- Glamour "Another stunning excavator of human heat and light, Yrsa Daley-Ward goes straight to the messy beating heart of animal attraction with bone , mesmerizing poems that strip bare the pain and beauty of negotiating longing, sex and love." --HuffPost "The perfect title for a book that looks for that hard place between the will and the flesh. . . . bone is a bounty of passionate and pained lines, narrators whose hearts have been turned, twisted, and sometimes stomped, but who remain open and willing--because how else could we live?" --The Millions , "Must-Read Poetry" " bone opens with a small explosion. . . . The poems that follow pick up the dual meaning...of threat and of erotic desire. Often, the two are intertwined. . . . Excellent." --The Paris Review (Staff Picks) "[Yrsa Daley-Ward] is at the realm of a new wave of contemporary poets who inspire an unprecedented level of empathy and accessibility through their honest and raw approach. . . .
