BOOKBone | Fish | Girl is a bold collage of tenderness and ferocity that examines an inner and outer world through the lens of a speaker whose journey is nonlinear. Layered with humor, grit, and a unique vulnerability, Megan Alyse’s debut collection explores heartbreak, motherhood, polyamory, queerness, identity, and complexity of the self as an artist. Alyse navigates interpersonal relationships, dreams, and memories using poetry to craft a coming-of-age story told in retrospect. Anchored in themes of love, empathy, and redemption, the stark honesty of Bone | Fish | Girl is something only encountered through the authenticity of the human experience.
