The Skeleton's Within

Born and bred in rural Jamaica, Anne O' Kayè sees the arts as a source of unbridled expression. Ergo, she uses it as she flutters through the past in a frenzied dash to uncover the face that haunts her daily. The author of "The Skeleton's Within," invites readers to unfold the pages of memory. As she chisels out the tenor from this world, she urges readers to seek the excluded harmonies that will expose the undertones of imagination clashed with the auto-tunes of reality. She also warns readers to be prepared for the brutality of the truth, as well as her thoughts on the agonizing pathways of the past and the weight and suffering that the future can bring. As a result, the anthology covers a wide range of subjects, including love and abuse. She takes a chance by moving out of her comfort zone and painting unfiltered feelings and ideals in the hopes of producing an astounding work that will be compelling enough to charm everyone who dares to read and journey with her. She does this with the understanding that if a drowning man clutches at straws, then a poet clutches at a microphone, knowing that they will sink without ink and parchment.
