Yrsa Daley-Ward

    Yrsa Daley-Ward is een schrijfster en dichteres van gemengde West-Indische en West-Afrikaanse afkomst. Haar werk, gevormd door een opvoeding in een devoot religieuze omgeving in Noord-Engeland, verkent thema's als identiteit en erfgoed met onverschrokken eerlijkheid. Door middel van krachtige, rauwe beelden en scherpe taal onthult Daley-Ward de complexiteit van de menselijke ervaring. Haar poëzie en proza resoneren met een urgentie en kwetsbaarheid die haar een toegewijd lezerspubliek hebben opgeleverd.
