bare bones is the debut poetry collection by alexandrea o'neill. it is a quiet unraveling in two parts. in part one, she turns inward: retrieving the inner child, making sense of old wounds, and learning to sit with solitude as a form of survival. it is a tender excavation of what it means to heal, slowly and without spectacle. in part two, she begins to reenter the world. through rest, embodiment, and small acts of becoming, she begins the tentative search for purpose. not with certainty, but with softness. this book is not a blueprint for wholeness. it is a collection of moments. raw. honest. unfinished. just like us.
