my bones in your backyard is a journey through trauma, healing, and self-discovery that refuses to sugar-coat the messy reality of toxic relationships and mental health struggles. Lauren Underwood's second collection of poems takes readers through three powerful sections—the graveyard, the insanity, and the afterlife—chronicling the death of her former self, the chaos of recovery, and the ultimate resurrection into authentic love and self-acceptance. This isn't just another breakup poetry book; it's a raw excavation of how we bury pieces of ourselves in others, and the painful, necessary work of digging ourselves back up. With unflinching honesty about abuse, depression, and the long road to healing, Underwood creates a roadmap for anyone who's ever had to save themselves from their own life.
