Unburying the Bones

Unburying the Bones is a book of poetry that serves as an ode to those with grief lingering in their bodies, latent or bubbling-but always present-either in the firm of their ribcage or the soft of their thighs. The poems bring to the fore pain made corporeal, the roots of misogyny, femicide, and the depths of matrilineality. It is an exploration of intimacy while reflecting on the lengths society has gone to subdue women. The writer reclaims sex as pleasure, her body as home, and her fear into drive.
