"The bones do not dance because they have to, but because they remember."
In The Dancing of Bones, Lauren J. Rhodes-Charles leads readers through the sacred terrain of grief, memory, and love that endures beyond the body. Written in the wake of her father's passing, this debut poetry collection is a tender, aching, and courageous offering-where silence speaks, love lingers, and the ones we've lost continue to guide us. With a voice that is both deeply personal and universally resonant, Lauren invites us to sit with sorrow, dance with memory, and rediscover joy inside the ache.
These poems are not just about loss-they are about what remains.
What moves. What dances still.
For anyone learning to live with absence, The Dancing of Bones is a companion and a quiet beacon.
