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.In 2020, BONED ended its run on a high note. This volume is loaded with brilliant poetry and fantastic fiction that contemplates humanity, life, death, and the beautiful moments in between. Everyone can find something for them 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-chiefSPACEBOY TO THE RESCUE: Profits from sales of this book will benefit Brink Literacy Project - brinklit.org
