Women Bones - Paperback

by Lauren M. Davis (Author)

Women Bones is a poetry collection exploring women's issues and adornments in the twenty-first century. Poems primarily focus on the disorder anorexia nervosa, deconstructing the idolization of thinness. Works also discuss the effects of secrets, women left behind, and women seeking peace. Stories of admiration for beauty, strength, perseverance, and recovery are also told. The collection is written in free-verse with influences of both ancient folklores and contemporary abstracts, and often uses the natural world to find answers and connections.
