Amy Wray Irish is a fresh voice echoing Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and Sharon Olds.
-Michael J. Henry, Executive Director of Colorado's Lighthouse Writers Workshop, author of No Stranger Than My Own and Active Gods
In Down to the Bone, poet Amy Wray Irish wields visceral language to strip away the false narratives women are forced to wear. Irish roots out our strength-the bones we can't see but hold us together.
After shedding our dead weight, Down to the Bone inspires women to rise up again. These poems invoke the witchcraft of bone broth; dig into the healing power of the earth; reframe Adam and Eve; and rewrite fairy tales to release us from our princess prison. In the tradition of Clarissa Pinkola Estés and Robert Bly, Irish is a storyteller who reveals every tale as metaphor for a journey within. These poems are an invitation to give birth to ourselves again.
In Down to the Bone, Amy Wray Irish wields the written lightning as she explores, questions, and champions a new mythology all our own. -Veronica Patterson, author of five books of poetry, most recently Sudden White Fan.
