Commentary To Books Bone
From the celebrated poet Yrsa Daley-Ward, a poignant collection of autobiographical poems about the heart, life, and the inner self.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 resonate 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."

Currently Free On Kindle: I had this on my wishlist so excited!!!https://smile.amazon.com/bone-Yrsa-Da...3.5*This is a collection of contemporary poetry that I definitely enjoyed more than Neruda's. The language and style made me be able to 'get' it a bit more and feel more engaged with what Daley-Ward was trying to express. That being said, though I loved her writing style and felt she did not hold back in her poetry, I did not always connect to them in an emotional level, mostly because I have no experienced the things of which she wrote. That is a personal thing so I still really enjoyed it and
So I finished this poetry collection about a month ago, and it is only now that I feel able to properly express my thoughts. Daley-Ward is a fantastic writer and poet. Out of all the poetry collections I've recently read that have similar themes and writing styles, hers captured my attention the most. When I read her poems, I felt like I was absorbing pure energy, as she manages to capture such deep and raw emotion almost effortlessly. Partly why I am praising this collection so much is that I
Book ReviewTitle: BoneAuthor: Yrsa Daley-WardGenre: PoetryRating: *****Review: As this is a poetry collection this review isnt going to be as long as my novel reviews. For some of the poems I have read leading up to the mark in the collection, Bone is about how we see the world, how we see others, how others see us and how we love, good and bad. So far my favourite poems are Bone because it looks at how women look at sex and how it can make us feel in good or bad situations but you could also
(Nearly 3.5) This debut collection from a Black British (Nigerian/Jamaican) performance poet reminded me most of Kate Tempests work. Some recurring themes are growing up in a fractured family, the highs versus occasional anguish of romantic love, and the complications of being gay in the context of conservative religion. I particularly liked Coordinates (Every time I travel / I meet myself a little more / Sometimes you have to leave all your cities to fall in love), Poetry (You will come away
I really didn't like this unfortunately... I found myself only liking about four poems from this whole collection. I don't like the way this was written and how some poems dragged for many many pages. This also has a religious component so I wanted to put that out there. so some of the poems I just didn't like... "tough tongue to flesh,bite the lobe, swallow the juice she says will purify you" like ew. what? no.
EXCELLENT!!!!
