Description: The Terrible by Yrsa Daley-Ward Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From an explosive new literary talent, a searing, moving memoir of family, adolescence and sexualityYou may not run away from the thing that you arebecause it comes and comes and comes as sure as you breathe.This is the story of Yrsa Daley-Ward, and all the things that happened - even the Terrible Things (and God, there were Terrible Things). Its about her childhood in the north-west of England with her beautiful, careworn mother Marcia, Linford (the man formerly known as Dad, half-fun, half-frightening) and her little brother Roo, who sees things written in the stars. Its about growing up and discovering the power and fear of her own sexuality, of pitch grey days of pills and powder and encounters. Its about damage and pain, but also joy. Told with raw intensity, shocking honesty and the poetry of the darkest of fairy tales, The Terrible is a memoir of going under, losing yourself, and finding your voice. Author Biography Yrsa Daley-Ward is a writer, poet and actress of mixed Jamaican and Nigerian heritage.Since publishing her first poetry collection, the widely beloved bone, Yrsa has been in a constant state of exciting creative output, which earns her continued critical acclaim. Her follow-up book, the lyrical memoir The Terrible, garnered glowing praise and won her the prestigious PEN Ackerley Prize in 2019. Following that, she published The How, which NPR called "a hopeful work of meditation and healing" and has been taught in womens prisons around the world.Amidst all this, Yrsa continues to work and write in other areas of entertainment. In 2019, she worked closely with Beyonce to co-write Black Is King, "a grand statement of African-diaspora pride and creative power" (NYT) and has been adapting The Terrible for screen. As an actress, she played Grace Jones in Kwei-Armahs latest feature film. She splits her time between Brooklyn, New York and London.
