Publisher's 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.
