Here is emptiness. Here is a mouth after a recent excavation, black with soot, devoid of kisses. Here are hands, trembling against the soft ache of morning, here are eyes, wet, wide, half-full of sky and loneliness. Here is belly, back, femur, spine, ragged and smooth all at once, all at once. Here are dreams, ink black and speckled, lost behind the eyes. Here is a muted elegy, crow’s feet feathered over the eyes like lace. Here are the last strains of a dirge, wild, discordant, free.

There are not enough words for me to describe how magical & tender the poems in this book are. Some are a paragraph long, while others are just a few sentences. Yet, there is a lyrical quality to these poems that create gorgeous imagery that is as vivid as a fireworks show. These poems speak to those who have a sensitive heart that is either broken or lost in darkness, encouraging them to acknowledge their pain and know that someday they can heal.As a sensitive Black femme, I can't tell you how much it means that a Black woman wrote poetry about accepting your soft heart & gradually processing personal pain. Black femmes, especially Black women, are often told to be strong to the point where they don't acknowledge personal pain & mental illnesses. I'm grateful to have a book of poetry that shows me that being sensitive isn't a bad thing and that my personal darkness can be filled with light.

Lace Bone Beast Poems Other Fairytales for Wicked Girls eBook NL Shompole Reviews
GREAT HEAVENS! HOW IS THIS BOOK NOT MORE POPULAR??
This is a sly, toothsome anthem to all the girls who were never quite demure Disney princesses; a dark, rich celebration of blood, mystery and many other things that would make the Brothers Grimm proud.
Lace Bone Beast Poems & Fairytales for Wicked Girls is a collection of poetry written by multi-platform artist N.L. Shompole. It is a guide, a manual, a wealth of experience, but also the sincerest of written empathy of how it feels to be broken. To have a broken heart means that you allowed yourself to love, and that vulnerability is what makes you beautiful. N.L. Shompole uses her poems to tell all the girls out there Your softheartedness is not a weakness, it is the very thing that gives you life and allows you to feel, hope, and dream. But when your heart breaks, it's also OK to process the dark emotions that come along with that – you'll survive the rage and fury too – but remember to come back to yourself. Don't stay in the devastation.
Emotional survival is at the center of this collection and it was lovely to read. Through this collection, Ms. Shompole shows her readers that breaking is not the same as dying... breaking is a source of strength because you survived and now you know you can.
N.L. Shompole's collections of poetry include the following titles as of January 2017. She is a talent to take note of. Check her out!
2013-Cassiopeia at Midnight
2014-Heaven Water Blood
2014-Anatomy of Surrender
2015-Phantoms as Euphemisms for Disaster
2017-Lace Bone Beast
