Boned Every Which Way 2017

by Nate Ragolia (Editor), Dean Moses (Contributor)

Launched in January of 2016, BONED is an online literary collection with a single unifying skeletons. This theme touches something that's deeply embedded in all of 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. With 51 original poems, short stories, and a comic, by 46 writers, BONED Every Which Way will take you into the depths of horror, to strange futures, through contemplations of the human spirit, and leave you in stitches. In short, there’s something for everyone in BONED. “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-chief SPACEBOY TO THE Profits from sales of this book will benefit the amfAR, the foundation for AIDS research. www.amfar.org
