My bookish week continues! So thrilled to meet one of my favorite poets last night! I‘m obsessed with her words. She can write two sentences or only a few words and blow me away. I read a few pages of BONE every day. I‘m so excited about her new memoir ‘The Terrible‘. Do yourself a huge favor and get to know Yrsa Daley-Ward!! She‘s incredible!! #spinesvines #books #wine #bone #theterrible #yrsadaleyward #diversespines #bookworm
Yrsa: “Salt is a beautiful collection of poetry. I love writing that‘s rich in imagery and magic. Poetry is absolutely having a moment. I think it has to do with how shareable it is on social media. It‘s no longer for academics and intellectuals. Poetry belongs to us all. We all have a right to it.” #yrsadaleyward #nationalpoetrymonth
From the poem "Things it can take twenty years and a bad liver to work out." I will come back to this collection over and over again. #bone #yrsadaleyward #readingblackout #blackhistorymonth #poetry
Black History Month stack! Other than library books I need to finish that are due this month, I plan to read black authors & make my way through this stack. A pretty good mix of poetry, fiction, & a novel based on true events. #blackhistorymonth #stack #readingblackout #poetry #fiction #diversereads #blackauthors #solo #kwamealexander #anuntamedstate #roxanegay #thebookofnegroes #lawrencehill #thesobbingschool #joshuabennett #bone #yrsadaleyward

A stunning & captivating book of poetry. Beautiful prose, range & depth.
“what is now will soon be past
Just because you do it
doesn't mean you always will.
Whether you are dancing dust
or breathing light
you're never exactly the same,⠀
twice.”

pickThis little book of poetry was powerful, raw and beautiful. Daley-Ward does a wonderful job of writing a mix of poetry and story telling. From heartache to healing. With raw powerful emotion. She also touches on race, religion, family, and love.
I didn't connect with every single poem but I did mark several passages that spoke to me, more than I have in a long time. I am looking forward to reading more of her work.
