Launched in January of 2016, BONED is an online literary collection with a single unifying theme: skeletons. This theme touches something that's deeply embedded in all of us: Bones are our past, and also our future. Bones represent death as well as immortality, mixed with regrets about the pleasures and beauty of the flesh.This collection features the mix of poetry and fiction published in BONED from January to December, 2018. The works herein will whisk you into mythic worlds beyond our own, plumb the depths of the human experience, seek monsters and mysteries, and exhale potent expressions of love, loss, hope, and desire. "We started this project with the ambitious and silly idea that skeletons could inspire an infinite amount of writing. Turns out, it worked even better than we could have imagined. I've had the honor of editing deep, introspective poetry, hilarious scripts, and haunting stories. And I found a little inspiration myself." - Nate Ragolia, editor-in-chiefSPACEBOY TO THE RESCUE: Profits from sales of this book will be donated to the National Network of Abortion Funds (abortionfunds.org).
