Writer and poet Yrsa Daley-Ward’s words have resonated with hundreds of thousands of readers around the world: through her acclaimed books of poetry and memoir, Bone and The Terrible and through her powerful writing for Beyoncé’s cultural touchstone Black Is King.
Yrsa Daley-Ward is a writer, actor and model of Jamaican and Nigerian heritage. In her writing, Yrsa tackles issues dealing with all parts of the human condition, particularly those we don’t tend to speak of: issues of social awareness such as mental health, sexuality, love, grief and addiction.
Yrsa’s latest work, The How: Notes on the Great Work of Meeting Yourself, captures the immediacy and vulnerability of Yrsa’s online presence while keeping a clear focus on her craft and distinctive poetic voice.
