bone by Yrsa Daley-Ward

reflective tense

5.0

I haven't been the greatest fan of poetry collections. It's not something I would reach out for when I want to read something. I must say I enjoy discovering poems every now and then  and that's one of the reason I've tried reading this book in the first place because I saw one of the pieces on BookTok and I just got curious.

At times there would be collections that would barely resonate with you which I think why I barely read such books but Bone mostly hit the right spot. As I go through most pages, I'd randomly think to myself how Yrsa found the perfect words to certain feelings I used to not be able to explain.

Overall, this has shown both the artistry and rawness of poetry. I can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy of the book.
