Boneyarn Book

The stunning and meticoulous collection Boneyarn, written by poet David Mills, was published by The Ashland Poetry Press in 2021 and was the winner of the 2022 North American Poetry Award from the Poetry Society of Virginia. Mills' extensive research branches from the African Burial Ground located in the state of New York, associated with 18th-century slavery and the oldest and largest slave cemetery. In this collection, Mills passionately crafts poetry as a literary monument to the thousands of African American bodies buried.
