The Bone Picker (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798899905889)

"The Bone Picker" is Lisa Underwood's first full-length book of poetry. The collection follows the life of a woman from childhood through the ups and downs of marriage and motherhood, the recalibration of empty nesting, and a new life beyond. Though the narrative arc begins in darkness and confusion, there is an unburdening as the story resolves on a note of hope and reconciliation.

The author hopes that her poetry might be a touchstone for readers who are exploring the joys and challenges of being human in a world that has grown increasingly difficult to navigate. Lisa would be happy to think that readers would find comfort in her work; that they might feel more hopeful and connected to the beauty of the natural world and more receptive to the mystery of the divine in their lives.

The author believes that poetry is an anchor in challenging times, and she enjoys helping readers to engage with the work of great poets, from antiquity to today. Lisa believes that learning to read and write poetry has been her salvation; by sharing her passion for poetry, she hopes to help others find healing.
