BONES:

POEMS ON RECLAMATION

Bones is an excavation—of earth, of memory, of the hidden strata of the human soul. These poems sift through what was lost, what lingers, and what might still be reclaimed. Exploring the depths of love, grief, and transformation, Bones uncovers the relics we bury within ourselves: old wounds, enduring love, unfinished mourning, and moments that altered us in ways we cannot undo.

Reviews

“Bones is a collection that moves between the body and the cosmos, the physical and the mythic. It traverses pastures, junkyards, and graveyards—a landscape of weeds and bodies, forget-me-nots and stone. Hanslik writes with striking precision, her lines so musical they ask to be read aloud. This is a collection you’ll want to read in one sitting, then return to again and again.

—Allison Mei-Li, author of A History of Holding: Poems on Motherhood.”
