Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of bone written and read by Yrsa Daley-Ward.   

Observer book of the year 2017. 

'You will come away bruised.
You will come away bruised
but this will give you poetry.'  

Raw and stark, the poems in Yrsa Daley-Ward's breakthrough collection strip down her reflections on the heart, life, the inner self, coming of age, faith and loss to their essence. They resonate to the core of experience.

"Sharing is her form of survival... 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." (i-D Magazine)
