Two hundred and six bones form the skeletal system, each playing a unique role in forming the human body. The bones support the body, allow movement to take place, make blood cells, store minerals, and protect the organs. The bones, in a sense, are a foundation much like that of a house. If you've ever watched a home improvement show, you know that sought-after houses are often described as having "good bones." While true, I can't help but sympathize with all the houses built without regard for the burdens they'd carry. The beautiful homes of yesteryear, now caved in and slated for demolition. Some bones are meant for carrying heavy loads and some, simply, are not. Femurs and phalanges weren't made the same. In this illustrated poetry collection from the author of Words Like Water, In My Bones marries Kirsten Morgan's poetry style of vulnerable story-telling with personal artwork to form a book that is reflective and relatable. In My Bones journeys with readers through the complexity of conflicting emotions in different seasons of life, reminding them of the fractures they have faced and the evidence of healing that has taken place in their own lives.
